The American Revolution created several important effects which influenced the development of the French Revolution by different considerations:

1. The French people found great inspiration in how Americans defeated British rule successfully during their revolution. People demonstrated that they could remove oppressive leadership to create a better social structure based on justice. French citizens used the American independence movement as a paradigm to lead their opposition against French royal dictatorship.

2. The movements toward independence drew their influence from classical Enlightenment beliefs about sovereignty of the people and their entitlements to equal rights and liberty. Significant revolutionary ideas which focused on individual rights and government participation were essential components of both America and France during their revolutions.

3. According to history French direct military cooperation with American rebels together with substantial financial backing proved essential for the American success in the Revolution. French soldiers and civilian officials experienced revolutionary concepts through their participation during American Revolution and simultaneously depleted the national treasury leading to bankruptcy and contributing to the French Revolution.

4. The American Declaration of Independence served as the motivation for the French Declaration of Rights of Man and of the Citizen by detailing all citizen privileges. French Revolution originated from these grounds becoming an iconic representation of their battle against both tyranny and fight for equality.

5. Diffusion of Revolutionary Ideas: The American Revolution spread revolutionary ideas across Europe and to France in particular. The actions in America fascinated and moved both French intellectuals and revolutionaries because of the struggle for freedom conducted by colonists.

The American Revolution motivated and molded French citizens into a movement for liberty and equality despite their distinct reasons for becoming involved in the French Revolution.
