Location is a key difference between the two wars. The American Revolution took place in a colony an ocean away from its ruling monarchy in Britain. The French Revolution took place within France itself, an action that directly threatened the French monarchy

Answer: The American Revolution was similar and different from the French Revolution. In the American Revolution, the 13 colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. In the French Revolution, the French were rebelling against King Louis XVI, who had abysmal economic policies. The difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution was that the French Revolution was much more violent and radical. The American Revolution was not as violent nor radical. The American Revolution and the French Revolution were both started by economic decisions by a monarch.
