The French and British had a lot of animosity for each other. The French thought that by helping the US defeat the British, it would get back at the British for the fighting in the French and Indian War, and the multitude of conflict in Europe over the previous 100 years.

How did the British feel about guerrilla warfare during the American Revolutionary War?

During the revolutionary War (1775-1783) the British Army considered Americans to be cowards and acting in an un-gentlemanly manner, by deploying such tactics (guerilla warfare). Guerilla war was dirty fighting and un-civilized. Yes, it depends on which war is referred to. The Spanish Guerillos in the Peninsular war were a very big thorn in the side of the French invaders in the Napoleonic wars, aiding Wellingtons campaign more than the regular Spanish forces ever did. I suppose the Chindits of WW2 in Burma might well be considered Guerillas, against the Japanese. Guerilla is spanish for little war.
