The French had helped the Americans in their struggle for independence, so the French Revolution seemed to embody many of the ideals of the American Revolution. By 1793, the French Revolution turned bloody with the execution of Louis XVI, Marie Antionette, and thousands of French citizens. Click on the Guillotine website (

* In your opinion, what did the French Revolution have in common with the American Revolution? Explain.
1. The French Revolution and the American Revolution are the same in many ways. Both of these Revolutions started as a result in a cause that has something to do with money. In the American Revolution, the taxes were a big part in what started the Revolution. In the French Revolution the government finance was what caused the uprising. Both of these Revolutions also had debt. French and American Revolution had the same type of idea about taxes. The "poor" people had more tax while people with higher authority didn't have as much to pay to the government. France is in the same position as Great Britain is:; both of those countries were the ones who enforced the tax laws and basically started stirring drama for a revolution.
ReplyDeleteThe French Revolution is there fight for there own independence just like the American Revolution for the Americans. The French had a leader like George Washington. His name was Antoine Louis. The nobles had to pay more taxes than all the other normal people because they had more money than all the other people. The nobles didn't have to go into the military either. The peasants were forced to go into the military just like in †he American Revolution.
ReplyDeletethey had in common was there was death prices and there were laws, one was for the adoption and a man got his death because the man got his head cut off by a death toll where u put a persons head and the blade above and it comes down at a fast rate and then the head is cut off, and that is how the death toll works and have to be careful what you do so you don't end up at the death toll
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is that they both were in debt for awhile. They both didn't have to have the military services and the nobles did not have to do the tax's. The treaty of Compo was signed on October 17th and my opinion was that they had to pass over people and I didn't think that it was fair that every person didn't have to sign off on it.
ReplyDelete1.The American and French revoulution are simalry,Because both countries just came out of a war and in were debt. They pressed taxes on to citizens,but the poor people paid me which mad †hem mad.In the American Revoulution they put taxes tea and stamps,and more.They both had a declartion of independence.
ReplyDelete1. In my opinion the french Revolution was similar to the American Revolution because there was a treaty before the revolution, which stated the war. Also because there was causes like The age of Enlightenment, The Reign of Terror, Storming of Basille, The Treaty of Campo Formio, and finally the first execution on the guillotine. All resulting in the Revolution. Just like the American Revolution.
ReplyDeleteThe French Revolution and the American Revolution have many similarities. They mostly deal with money and taxes. The American Revolution just got done with taxes. The French Revolution deals with money losses and taxes. Many people were also killed in both revolutions. In the American, many people died of gunshots. In the French, many people died by a machine called the guillotine.
ReplyDelete1.the french revolution and the American revolution had increased the huge debt,and neckers successor Charles Alexandre De Calonne called and assembly of notables they were hoping to do bankruptcy by inducing the classes to share in the burden.the cause of the revolution was the state of govemment finance.
ReplyDeletethe french revolution and the American revolution are the same by both of them they both started with money problams or needed money ect.the americans the taxes were big part in what started it the french revolution finance caused it. they were both in debt.
ReplyDeleteThey had a declaration of indapendeence. They where trying to get rid of the government finachel problem. i think it was a trety that the passed on to sign.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think they have in common is that they were fighting over the same thing. French Revolution they didn't want taxes. Americans didn't want to pay taxes either.
ReplyDeleteMaking people pay tolls is like taxing them. Why should I have to pay just to go to the other side of the road? If I already payed for something why should I have to pay extra? That's what I think they have in common. If they didnt have to pay taxes or listen to a king the wars would have never broke out. They were treated unfairly.
The french people didn't like the laws saying they couldn't hunt where they wanted or they had to be in the army. So they got angry that things weren't fair and they rebeled like the people in America.They also had problems with them taxing them because of the American Revolution like we didn't like the British taxing us.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1) Both wars had government finance problems that will cause the war.
ReplyDeleteExplain: With the revolution war they were fighting about all the taxation fees that they were applying to the citezens. With the French Revolution the money problems because they helped the revolution war with there wars
that they have the death penalty and most of it is because people refused to pay taxes or did some sort of crime that caused them to have death by the gallows.
ReplyDeleteThey both were to against the goverment because they were treated unfairly. They both had a death toll and both had a dept. Both were won and established a new goverment type. They both were taxed. Both the poor were treated them unfairly. I don't know if I agree with the revolutions.
ReplyDelete1. like the Amrican Revilotion the French revolution
ReplyDeletewas first started because of taxes. T
he french used alot of the americans ideas in there revoltion. The guillotine played a lage role in the French revoltion.
People were not treated equally, the noble people were exempt from taxes, and they killed anybody that didn't obey him. Also, they were both caused due to the chaotic ways of the government.
ReplyDeleteThey both started with money or tax problems. Tax problems were very big in both Revolution's.
ReplyDeleteMany people died in the American Revolution and the French Revolution. In the American Revolution people died by gunshot, in the French Revolution many people died by a machine called the "Guillotine."
1. The French and American revolution have lots in common. The French and American both have troubles with money, also had troubles with taxes. The French and American both worked against there government.
ReplyDeleteIn the American Revolution they had just got done with taxes while the French Revolution was in the middle of losing taxes. Both of the revolutions were both dealing with taxes.
ReplyDelete1.How the French revolution is like the American revolution is that they both started by having financial and money problems. They also wanted there own independence so they faught for what they wanted. They also didn't like the idea of taxes.
ReplyDelete-In my opinion I thought they both involved France. The guiliotine was used in these times as well. They were both fighting against the government after being unfairly treated. Also they were both being unfairly taxed so they were both unhappy and fought against that too. They were both different but the same in many ways. It just shows how to opposite things can lead to the same problem.
ReplyDelete* In your opinion, what did the French Revolution have in common with the American Revolution? Explain. both revolutions were brought up by taxes. also, people were not being treated equally, for instance only some people had to pay taxes.

1. Here is how the French and American revolution were alike. There were both citizens used as soldiers. There were both overthrows of power. They both ended with a new constitution. They both lost a lot of money through the war. They both started because of taxes.
ReplyDeletethe French Revolution and the American Revolution are kind of the same. They had things to do with money/taxes. And in the French Revolution people died by the Guillotine.
ReplyDeletePeople were not treated equal and many poor people were slaves. the nobles ruled over most of them. and were expect to pay taxes and do military work
ReplyDelete1.The French revolution started, like the American Revolution, because of the opression from the government by taxation and with the huge debt. It was also alike because of the new government and the death penalty was also a key factor in both revolutions.
ReplyDeleteThe French Revolution and the American revolution are the same in a lot of ways. Both wars had many people die with the battles going on all the time ans just people fighting in general. In both wars people had to pay lots of taxes. Not a lot of people were treated equally or were treated fairly. They would get killed if they didn't follow any rules which was unfair to many people. That's how the American Revolution and the French Revolution are the same.
ReplyDelete* In your opinion, what did the French Revolution have in common with the American Revolution? Explain.
ReplyDeleteThe American and French revolution began because of the same reasons, being taxed on stuff that shouldn't have been taxed. The French's participation in the American revolution increased the debt. The poor people were treated bad, had to do military, couldn't fish or hunt and had to pay takes to the king,lord and church.
1. They both got taxed. And the poor were treated unfair while the rich were more respected the poor not respected that much
ReplyDelete1. They are similar because in the American Revolution they were trying to break away just like the French Revolution. Also they both had a great leader to overthrow the government.
ReplyDelete1. The French and American Revolution were similar because of the unfair government, and the red coats were like the nobles. Since they had full authority over peasants. Also the colonist and the peasants both had to pay taxes to a higher power. Another similarity is that the colonist stormed a British fort, and the peasants stormed the Bastille prison. Also both revolutions were started by taxes and bad government. Lastly both the French Revolution and the American Revolution both overthrew the opposing government/leader.
ReplyDeleteFrench Revolution and the American Revolution both had debt. They also had a war because of the taxes that they had to pay. Many people risked their life for their country.
ReplyDeleteThe French Revolution and the American Revolution was there fight for freedom against the country that they were originally tied to. Both revolutions had important figures as there leaders like George Washington and Antoine Louis leading the French. They both were only fighting against only one country. The Americans were taxed on all things and the French had to pay taxes to there lord, the king, and the church.
