What immediate impact did the americans alliance with france in 1778 have on the british?
Answer 1
Once the Americans and France entered into an alliance in 1778, the British were left with any standing allies. This had a major impact on the strength of the British forces.
Answer 2
The immediate impact of the French joining the war was twofold. The first effect was that the number of vulnerable British positions multiplied. The American colonists only had ambitions on the North American mainland, but the French had ambitions on several different Carribean islands, Gibraltar, and British possessions in India. This meant that the British forces had to be spread out more thinly in order to engage the French. The second effect was that the British were now facing a country with a powerful land army and an extant navy. The American colonists had no real way of opposing the British blockade, but the French Navy (along with the Spanish and Dutch navies) could give the British Navy a run for its money. Combined with the need to defend more valuable Carribean colonies, this made the American Revolutionaries more able to smuggle in weapons and war stockpiles.
Contrary to Answer 1, the British did not expect the French to be willing to assist them since the two were historic rivals, so the "loss" of France as a potential ally was not even a British concern.
