Question

What was one reason France sided with the Americans in the Revolutionary War? They wanted American resources.

Answer 1

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.
