Answer 2

You are Charles Gravier de Vergennes, you were born in 1719 and you died (yes, you are dead) in 1787. You helped the colonists by creating a fake company to sneak weapons and supplies during the revolutionary war hoping to debilitate the British in the process; nevertheless, even tough America achieved independence, you and your country, France, didn't get much out of it.
