Similarities Between American And French Revolution

The late 18th and early 19th Centuries were full of revolution. It began in 1775 with the American Revolution, in which the British colonies in North America fought for their independence from Britain. After the American Revolution came many others, but the one that stands out the most is the French Revolution. Many people consider the American and French revolutions to be similar, which is true to an extent. Both revolutions started for financial reasons and had the same goals in mind, but the details of the revolutions differ.

The American Revolution was a major turning point in American history. It marked the beginning of a new powerful nation and essentially changed the nation politically and socially; however, to some extent, it did not lead to an economic change. There were some benefits to the war; the establishment of the Declaration of Independence, a stronger, centralized government, and eventually progressed the roles of women and slaves. On the contrary, there were still diversions between the rich and poor during and after the Revolution. After breaking away from British control, the elites of America at that time wanted to adopt a system of government that would not resemble British’s, but a strong centralized government.
