Just as French aid in the American revolution was for French interests.

Can't you remember that the last western embassador supporting Vichy's
regime was Admiaral Leahy?
So, each side has to shut it down

Who helped USA to get its independence from UK ?
Enough said.


The French were at war with Britain, they were an absolute
monarchy that had no interest in US independence. They were
simply trying to fight the British (at York town). The French
and Indian war was certainly not an attempt to help the
English colonies attain independence.

The French did not win Yorktown, Alan.

That was Green and his 300 iron cannon.

Without that, Washington surrenders at Yorktown, to half the English fleet.

You are correct. I never said that the French "won" Yorktown, I merely
alluded to their motive for being there.

What you wrote is a no-sequitur and revisionist history.

The one thing the French point to WRT their friendship with America is that
America has never been at war with France. This whole affair is more like
an old married couple having a spat.
