Following the French and Indian War (or The Seven Years' War), the British and French still had clear, bitter tensions among one another. The French wanted to get revenge for the British's actions in the French and Indian War. When the American Revolution began in 1775 and the colonists sought aid, the French were skeptical of any positive outcome. However, in 1777, at the Battle of Saratoga, the colonist victory proved to the French that the Colonial Army was capable of taking on the British. On the request of Benjamin Franklin, the French Army later sent aid, and in 1783, the war for American Independence was over.
