Why did many americans initially welcome news of the french revolution?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is: "Both revolutions were influenced by the Enlightenment principles and therefore, Americans sided with the French in their uprising".

The Enlighment movement emerged in Europe in the 18th century and it was constituted by philosophers that promoted Reason and the scientific method over medieval superstition and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and not in absolute monarchs or rulers "appointed by God". The resulting states that emerged based on the principles of this movement, enacted bills of civil rights for the first time in history, and implemented principles such as the division of powers or the social contract, through which citizens elected their governors by suffrage.

Such Enlightment principles were transferred to the American colonies, where the population claimed for political representation rather than being governed by foreigners that were appointed by a foreign king. Such claims were ignored and the colonies, influenced by the new democratic principles, started several revolutionary movements for independence aiming to establish new independent states based on the Enlightment principles like in Europe.

The success of the American Revolution served as an example that the French followed intending to liberate themselves from their absolute monarchy and aiming to fight for the establishment of democratic principles in their society too. Therefore, the underlying ideology during the French revolution was the same that during the American uprising and, hence, Americans identified themselves with the French and supported their fight.

Answer 2
Answer: They considered the french to be fellow republicans.

Answers

Answer:

a. Germany

Explanation:

The Franco-Prussian war was an armed conflict between the Second French Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia that took place between 1870 and 1871. This conflict outbreak due to the growing influence of Prussia, led by Otto von Bismark, in central Europe and the failed attempt of France of annexing Luxembourg. The tension between the two powers increased to the point that the equilibrium of power broke and the war was declared on July 19 of 1870. The war ended in May 10 of 1871 with the Prussian victory. Some important consequences of this war were: the end of the French Empire and the beginning of the Third French Republic; the birth of the Prussian Empire; and the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by Prussia. The new equilibrium of power set the tone for the next decades and maintained until the outbreak of WWI.
