There really was not one battle that made the French enter the war on Americas side but rather it was the fact it was someone fighting against the British and holding their own and the fact that it was against the British that caused the French to fight against them.  The French and British had fought against eachother so often and the French lost most of the time was another factor.

The Battle of Saratoga was considered the turning point of the war. True, it is difficult to war so far from home, no airplanes to transport supplies, knowledge of the land is also imperative. But at Saratoga the British had to give up their notion of the Colonists as a group of rag-tag, untrained, farmer soldiers. The Colonists were fighting for their homes. The Brits had underestimated their opponent and they finally came to that realization.

Although for a long time I sensed an undercurrent of disdain for France way back when France was trying hard to be the dominant NATO voice. Many Americans viewed these policy differences akin to ingratitude... for American sacrifice and reconstruction that freed and rebuilt France from the ravages of world war II. This growing penchant of France not to support USA initiatives to contain communism worldwide and to actively promote it's own idea of hegemony with them was not only a big disappointment. To the macho Americans these actions verge on being sissy.  So perhaps it's these same Americans that get insulted being referred to as French, because that would be like telling them they look effete. \n\nOn the other hand, it could be simply a matter of national pride. Same reaction you get when you mistook a Puerto Rican as Mexican. Try that sometimes...

There were issues regarding the Brittish Crown's decision to have the Colonies of America pay for the French & Indian War.  This led to an outcry of "Taxation without Representation," the notion that Americans were being taxed by the Brittish Parlaiment without the American's voices being officially heard during the consideration.  \nAs a result, many started toying with the idea of independent rule.  This led to many other events and eventually the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution.  David McCullough's 1776 is a great book to use as a guide.

You should check out a history text or Wikipedia, it is pretty good. \n\nThe French Revolution is a tricky historical event. It is very complex and quite long. It began in 1789 when Louis XVI called into session the Estates General (French Parliament). Memebers of the Third Estate (commoners mostly the bourgeoisie) chose to use the session to begin a liberal revolution.

Well, the American Revolution was related to the economy because the British government was taxing the colonies on anything they did, not giving the colonists any say in the taxes.  The French revolution was related because the King was essentially hoarding all of the wealth, taxing the snot out of the population, so they revolted.  Marie Antionette's "let them eat cake" comment didn't help either.\nThe Russian revolution was largely the same thing, the nation was poor as dirt, and still living pre-industrial technologies.

If you're talking about the American Revolution, it started with the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. Lord Cornwallis's surrender at Yorktown was (I think) in October 1781.

Engalnd, and the colonies. The colonies did most of the fighting until William Pitt, the English Secretarty of State started demanding shelter, equipment, supplies, and manpower from the colonists. These demands and forced service of men  lead to the colonies revolting against England and the Revolutionary War. Since France was already at war with England, they became our allies (being enemies of our enemies).

The french were spread out over canada.  When the US declared its independance from england the loyalist went north to canada and the french and english had another war.  The english finally concurred the french and made canada an english region at the plains of abraham.  The battle was pretty bloody and left permenant marks on the country.  Quebec the french region of canada`s license plate says in french I remember and the reference is to the unjust war.

The British were milking America for everything it could get, including high taxes on EVERYTHING, and ruling America like a dictatorship, so the Americans didnt have a say in their own government. \n\nThis led to calls for `no taxation without representation` (ie, some say in their own ruling) which the British rejected.  \n\nSo the colonists revolted.  Those who supported the English went to Canada and those who resisted the English won the war of independence and set up the US constitution.

The victors were the Americans.  Bergoyne had his arse handed to him.  It was a pivotal victory of the American Revolution.
