Well, prior to the American War of Independence the French and British fought a war known as the French-Indian war. The French were being defeated and the British began taxing the colonists. The Colonists rose up against the British and the French seen this as a good time for revenge. The Patriot army was also lacking a navy that could contend with the technologically superior British Navy. The French fought mostly at sea against the British but did fight in some land battles. Spain also helped the Patriots.

P.S I'm Scottish (not British)
