Historians cite three main reasons for the gift from France of the Statue of Liberty. They wanted to commemorate the centennial of the alliance between France and the US. That alliance was key to winning the American Revolutionary War. They also wanted to inspire their own citizens of the Third French Republic to emulate America's ideals of liberty and union. Additionally, they wanted to encourage other Europeans to end the various ideas of monarchy and especially hereditary monarchy.As an aside, the scheduled event almost never met its date of dedication in that the US had not yet collected funds for the cost of constructing the statue. Famous publisher, Joseph Pulitzer, made a nationalo appeal to complete the task.
