Both the American Revolution and French Revolution were the products of Enlightenment ideals that emphasized the idea of natural rights and equality. With such an ideological basis, it becomes clear when one sets out to compare the French Revolution and American Revolution that people felt the need to be free from oppressive or tyrannical rule of absolute monarchs and have the ability to live independent from such forces. The leadership in both countries at the time of their revolutions was certainly repressive, especially in terms of taxation. Both areas suffered social and economic hardships that led to the realization that something must be done to topple the hierarchy and put power back into the hands of the people

The American and French Revolutions were fought several years and an ocean apart.  However, they feature enough similarities that some people initially consider them “mirror struggles.”  After all, there are some easy comparisons:  both revolutions occurred in the later eighteenth century.  Both subverted an existing, monarchical government.   Finally, both created ripe conditions for constitutionalism and deep patriotism.

But dig more deeply, and you’ll find that this “same revolution, different continent” concept is not as tidy as it initially appears. Further similarities between the two revolutions are just different enough to produce profound distinctions between the two revolutions.  Although most scholars believe that the two revolutions influenced one another (as well as had profound worldwide impact), each revolution is a very distinct and singular struggle for freedom, identity, and an improved way of life.

Indeed, scholars have built entire careers on this subject, and rich debate and information is available online or at your local library.  However, here are a few fundamental elements shared by the revolutions, with intricate but important differences highlighted:

Causes
Both the American Revolution and the French Revolution were borne of dire economic conditions.
