Differences Between America And France And The French Government

The American and the French revolution have many more similarities with each other than either do with the Latin American and Haitian revolutions. Apart from the surface similarities of being fought less than a decade apart, the two revolutions share many key similarities that may not be obvious at first. The revolutions were both borne of dire economic conditions, both from the same war. The Seven Years' War, fought from 1756-1763, was a battle of the great powers of Europe. On one side, the French, along with many other allies, battled Great Britain, who was accompanied by their respective allies. The outcome of this war was debt. "As Britain's global struggle with France drained its treasury and ran up its national debt, British authorities,

There are many cultural differences between the United States and France. Some of these are simply social and others are cultural. Hofstede’s Value Dimensions can be used to highlight the differences between the cultures. Individualism vs collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity/femininity, power distance, and long-term vs short-term orientation are all characteristics that differ between France and the United States.

From 1750 to 1914, several important revolutionary processes occurred in the Americas, including those of North America and Latin America. The North American and Spanish American Revolutions were similar in that they both shared the common goal of liberation from the foreign colonial governments that ruled over them. However they differed in that there was no goal for social reform in the American Revolution, but in the Haitian Revolution the slaves had the goal of social reform of the rigid social class system. Another difference between the revolutionary processes in the two regions is that the American Revolution was successful and had stable and positive long-term outcomes, but the Haitian Revolution and Latin American Revolution were

There where a lot similarities and differences between the the American and the French revolutions. The French Revolution and American Revolution were two examples of civilians rebelling against their government. Similarities between these two revolutions is in their ideology, economy, and leaders. The French and the American civilians both rebelled violently. The American revolution was caused by the american colonists need for financial independence from Great Britain. The French revolution was a battle to achieve social equality among the public. Although the ideas of the American and French Revolutions where similar, they are not the same. The American revolutionists did not intend to start a revolution but to gain freedom Britain. On the

The French and American revolutions were both countries fighting for independence, almost one after another, the American first, and then the French. Both were very similar, while also, very different. Both were inspired by Enlightenment thinkers, and both involved citizens against the king. The French revolutionists were inspired by the American patriots.

By the early 1600s both the French and the English had established colonies in North America; the French had New France in Canada and the English had colonies in New England and the Chesapeake Region. These colonies were very different but they shared a few similarities. One aspect they had in common, was that the territories they claimed had already been inhabited by Native Americans for centuries. The European settlers’ relationship with the American Indian’s was in constant turmoil, and between the arrival of the colonists to 1760 there were many instances of cooperation, conflict and compromise between the two groups.

A constitutional monarchy was created in France because it was the decision of the National Assembly to make the king be in charge France. Even though it was a ratified constitution for the French, they decided to keep it as a king in charge instead having a president. The king however was kept as executive power of France. For the French, the king was able to resist any democratic change which made the National Assembly reconstruct the French society. The French people didn’t feel pleased of this decision because the third estate wasn’t well represented in the government which is similar to how the American colonists felt when the British passed the Tea Act, Stamp Act, and Revenue Act. The French felt cheated because they were promised a somewhat similar democracy like the American colonists gained, but they ended up with a constitutional monarchy.

In the late eighteenth to the early nineteenth century, France was undergoing major changes. Before the French Revolution, France was experiencing political, social and economic problems. During this time period France was unstable, and wasn’t able to keep up with the new arising Enlightenment ideas. In addition, there were high taxes, unequal power distribution and social inequality. The French Revolution not only impacted the citizens of France, but people from other countries as well.

The French and American Revolution do have some similarities although, ultimately, the two wars are completely different. One of the main differences is that the American Revolution was sparked by the American people who were unhappy with the way the British were controlling them. As a result, the Americans were looking for independence.The French Revolution, on the other hand, was centered on putting an end to the monarchy and implementing a new style of government while also changing the social structure which favored the hereditary elites. Another difference is in relation to how the revolutions were fought. The Americans elected representatives who assumed powers of government and created their own currency which effectively cut off payments to Britain while the US organized an official army (495). The American Revolution initially put together two military powers which fought throughout the thirteen colonies. Although the British won most of the battles, the Americans would be able to form a competent military, with civilian support networks, that provided supplies and financial support (495). Although this was not quite enough, it took until the French intervened, as allies to the Americans, the British finally surrendered granting independence to these colonies.

One similarity between the two colonies is the farming, the French colonies and the Spanish colonies both used farming for their economy. The Spanish colonies did most of their farming in the Western area, one of the important pieces of

France was influenced by America to separate from the king. They were going through similar struggles with their king, but America didn’t want

In Europe, the main three countries Britain, France, and Spain were constantly battling for power. For many years the countries were involved in wars. These wars often took Britain’s attention off the colonies and left the colonies to govern themselves. By 1750, France held more territory in North America than Britain.

Comparative researchers use France to illustrate the common trend in which state building is a long and wrenching process. Governments came and went at a dizzying speed because on average, they only lasted nine months (Hauss 111). In fact, there has been twelve French regimes since 1789. Unresolved conflicts between other countries, deep political division and the industrial revolution are some factors that contributed to France’s instability in the past. The leaders of the Fourth Republic made an unsuccessful attempt to establish a government that could serve the needs of the people. Unlike them, Charles de Gaulle and other numerous leaders of the Fifth Republic were able to implement a democracy that governed effectively, allowing France to become one of the wealthiest and most powerful countries in the

The people of France have endured many hardships as the result of several conflicting ideas being proposed about the National Assembly, our governing body, and its effectiveness in ruling our great nation. The people of France want structure, they want a sound government who will do right by them and will save them from starving with food and order.
