And don't forget the French without whose support you would have lost. The war was essentially a proxy war between Britain and France fought in the colonies designed to weaken and ostracize the British.Stanisław wrote:Down with the Brits and thank the maker of the tooled bore rifle.

In all the French spent 1.3 billion livres to support the Americans directly, in addition to the money it spent fighting Britain on land and sea outside the U.S.
France's status as a great modern power was affirmed by the war, but it was detrimental to the country's finances. Even though France's European territories were not affected, victory in a war against Great Britain with battles like the decisive siege of Yorktown in 1781 had a large financial cost which severely degraded fragile finances and increased the national debt. France gained little except that it weakened its main strategic enemy and gained a new, fast-growing ally that could become a welcome trading partner. However, the trade never materialized, and in 1793 the United States proclaimed its neutrality in the war between Great Britain and the French Republic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_in ... ionary_War
Note that France gave all this support in the hope that the new US of A would reciprocate, but in the end they declared neutrality and let them down.

Look a little further down the timeline and I think you'll see that France has received plenty in return from the US.Mèo Đen wrote:And don't forget the French without whose support you would have lost.

Guys, guys, please don’t get me started on this; this is one of the big conspiracies. My head says, ‘go on, say it,’ but my heart says, ‘no, let it drop.’ So I’m going to button my lip and say ‘Have a great holiday guys!’
After all, it’s not the ordinary folks’ fault – it’s the politicians’, Royalty's & the bloody Masons’. You only have to look at where US citizens’ taxes really go.
Anyway, have a great holiday, guys!

4th of July, the saddest day of them all, lucky deflections over Shilts, Gascoigne's tears, Pearce and Waddle's misses, dreams all over.
A day to reminisce about what could have been.
Oh and that French backed Washington traitor character. Ah well I guess the World is still paying the price for that one, sorry World from Britain.

Early signs of the true nature of America....total turncoat who supports whomever it is convenient to support. I also enjoy the way the Yankees blast others for doing things they themselves did and often still do (apartheid, colonisation, etc)Mèo Đen wrote: Note that France gave all this support in the hope that the new US of A would reciprocate, but in the end they declared neutrality and let them down.
