Answer 1

The correct answers are A) They hated Great Britain equally. B) They were sick of British domination (control) in Europe and were still mad about the French and Indian War.

France and Spain were happy to provide money and soldiers to America during the Revolution because they hated Great Britain equally and they were sick of British domination (control) in Europe and were still mad about the French and Indian War.

Great Britain had many enemies in Europe because of its imperialistic ideas and rivalries that resulted from the confrontation with other European powers.

Without a doubt, the help Spanish and French gave to the Continental Army, led by General George Washington, were so important to defeat the powerful British Army. The American colonies' alliance with both nations helped the Americans to win the American Revolutionary War.

France and Spain did not want Britain to exert so much control over North America because that represented more power for the English Kingdom.
