Window On Future The American Revolution The American Revolution and France (by Robert L. Messer) Americans who think of "our Revolution" as an unique event isolated from European power politics forget that it also was a remote theater in a global cold war between England's George III and Louis XVI of France. At the time France was nominally at peace with England only because Louis XVI could not afford a full-scale hot war. But the French king could and did secretly subsidize the revolutionaries in England's American colonies, thus making the American Revolution a "covert operation" in the cold war between England and France. Actually, French interest in an American rebellion dates from the mid-1760's, when French agents began gathering political and military intelligence to exploit growing tension between England and Americans. By December, 1774, months before the first skirmishes at Concord and Lexington, tentative, unofficial contacts regarding arms siq>ply had been made between French and colonial agents. But it was not until the Soring of 1776 that French Foreign Minister Vergennes convinced a majority of the French Cabinet to support a program of secret aid funded by the Crown. Vergennes' plan was bankrolled by a down payment of two million livres from the French and Spanish treasuries. This money was laundered through a dummy Paris firm. The first installment of secret military aid from France reached the colonies in the summer of 1776. It included much-needed gun powder, 30,000 muskets, 100,000 balls, 200 cannon, mortars, tents, uniforms and thirty French officers sent along to "assist" the recipients of the supplies. This clandestine support, conceived and initiated by France with Spanish financial support, sustained the early Continental Army hy providing some 90 per cent of its munitions. Even the fife and dram carried by the familiar bandaged figures depicting the "Spirit of '76" very likely were made in France. It was French arms, including cannon embossed with flowing royal monogram of Louis XVI, that made possible the first major American victory at Saratoga, N.Y. in October, 1777. That victory in turn emboldened France to drop its cover, openly proclaim an alliance with the rebellious colonies and end its cold war with England by declaring a hot one. Thus; the oldest and moat absolute of the European monarchies, itself a colonial power, supported an anti-colonial, anthmonarchial revolution. The motives for that paradoxical commitment are complex and reached back at least to 1763 and France's humiliating defeat by England in the Seven Years war. But if Louis XVI sought revenge for past humiliations, he ultimately became a victim of that revenge. Louis' secret aid brought on a financial crisis that in turn contributed to the outbreak of the French Rthrolution. In January, 1793, seventeen years after his decision to aid the American rebels, Louis XVI was himself beheaded by order of a French revolutionary court. (Robert L. Messer is a specialist in American diplomatic history at the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle.)
