The correct answer is C) France lost the French and Indian War.
One reason why France sided with the Americans in the Revolutionary War was that France lost the "French and Indian War."
England and France fought the "French and Indian War" in 1756. Both countries disputed territories in North America because they had imperialistic interests in the region. Some Native American Indians sided with the French, others with the British. In the end, England won the war. That is why the French decided to support the Continental Army, led by General George Washington, during the Revolutionary War, where the 13 colonies fought against the British troops to gain independence from the British crown.
Before the Louisiana Purchase, Louisiana was a French territory, and Napoleon threatened to block American access to the port of New Orleans on the Mississippi River. This scared Americans, because the nation wanted to expand the exports of American products.
President Jefferson sent diplomats to France to bargain access to the River, instead, Napoleon offered the sell of Louisiana. France needed money because of the war against Britain and then, the US bought Louisiana for 15 million dollars.
The Purchase impacted the Western Expansion since it doubled the size of the US and added more 14 states to the Union. It permitted the US to have more land to plantations and increase commerce and trade.
The philosophy of “Manifest Destiny” also became popular with the belief that Americans were destined to expand their territory.
