Both the American Revolution and the French Revolution shared some causes:
-Years of unwanted taxes
<u>French Revolution</u>: the financial bankruptcy caused by the vices of the fiscal system, the bad perception and the inequality of the taxes and the expenses of the contribution in the War of Independence of the United States were a huge problem for the French people, as they had to support these financial problems paying higher taxes. The fiscal problems of the monarchy, together with the example of democracy of the new emancipated State, precipitated the events of the Revolution.
<u>American Revolution</u>: the American Revolutionary era began in 1763, when the French military threat over the British colonies in North America (French and Indian War) came to an end. The increase in the maintenance costs of the Empire led the British government to adopt a highly unpopular policy: the colonies had to pay a substantial part of it, for which they raised or created taxes (Sugar Act and Currency Act of 1764, Stamp Act 1765).
-Enlightenment ideals
-The 18th century was, in general, a time of progress of rational knowledge and improvement of the techniques of science. It was a period of enrichment that empowered the new bourgeoisie, although the traditional rights of the privileged orders within the absolutist monarchical system were maintained. However, the history of the 18th century consists of two distinct stages: the first assumes a continuity of the Old Regime (until the 1770s), and the second, of profound changes, culminates with the American Revolution, the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution In England.
The intellectual leaders of the encyclopedic movement considered themselves the elite of society, whose main purpose was to lead the world towards progress, taking it out of the long period of traditions, superstition, irrationality, tyranny and despotism (period that they believed began during the called Dark Age). This movement brought with it the intellectual framework in which the War of Independence of the United States and the French Revolution would take place, as well as the rise of capitalism and the birth of socialism.

The Angolan Civil War (Portuguese: Guerra Civil Angolana) was a civil war in Angola, beginning in 1975 and continuing, with interludes, until 2002. The war began immediately after Angola became independent from Portugal in November 1975. The war was a power struggle between two former anti-colonial guerrilla movements, the communist People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) and the anti-communist National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). The war was used as a surrogate battleground for the Cold War by rival states such as the Soviet Union, Cuba, South Africa and the United States. The MPLA and UNITA had different roots in Angolan society and mutually incompatible leaderships, despite their shared aim of ending colonial rule. A third movement, the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), having fought the MPLA with UNITA during the war for independence, played almost no role in the Civil War. Additionally, the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC), an association of separatist militant groups, fought for the independence of the province of Cabinda from Angola.With the assistance of Cuban soldiers and Soviet support, the MPLA managed to win the initial phase of conventional fighting, oust the FNLA from Luanda and become the de facto Angolan government.The FNLA disintegrated, but the U.S. and South Africa-backed UNITA continued its irregular warfare against the MPLA-government from its base in the east and south of the country.
The 27-year war can be divided roughly into three periods of major fighting – from 1975 to 1991, 1992 to 1994 and from 1998 to 2002 – with fragile periods of peace. By the time the MPLA achieved victory in 2002, more than 500,000 people had died and over one million had been internally displaced.The war devastated Angola's infrastructure and severely damaged public administration, the economy and religious institutions.
The Angolan Civil War was notable due to the combination of Angola's violent internal dynamics and the exceptional degree of foreign military and political involvement. The war is widely considered a Cold War proxy conflict, as the Soviet Union and the United States, with their respective allies, provided assistance to the opposing factions. The conflict became closely intertwined with the Second Congo War in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo and the South African Border War. Land mines still litter the countryside and contribute to the ongoing civilian casualties.
