The French vs. the American Revolution The French Revolution and The American Revolution are similar in many that people call them the Twin Wars. We will explore how they are similar by talking about the role that women played and the documents that emerged from each war. We will also explore how they are different by talking about the causes for the wars and the goals for each. Although the causes might seem similar in detail they are actually different.

At first the Roman Bacchanalia was held in secret for three days out of the year and only women attended. In 188 BC, shortly after Bacchanalia spread in Rome, Paculla Annia changed the method of celebration entirely when pretending to act under the influence of Bacchus. She admitted men into the initiation and increased the celebrations from three days a year to five nights a month. It’s believed the real reason behind the change was so she could allow her sons, Minucius and Herrenius (both surnamed
