When we won the American Revolution Other Nations looked at us as a model because we proved that we were a strong country. The people of France were not only inspired that we won the American Revolution But they began to have liberal political ideas. The People of France fought in the American Revolution with the Americans because they had more military weapons and they were the British's biggest rivalry.

They looked to United States because we were the first to implement Enlightenment ideas and successfully overthrew British command. The American Revolution inspired France, and many other countries.
