French monarchy?

Question

How did the french monarchy view the revolutions in Great Britain and the United States?

Answer 1

France and Britain were actually our allies back then the US actually had their revolution during the same time France did.

Answer 2

Little did the rebels in the 13 colonies know, that a victory of much greater importance was about to be won far away from the battlefield. The Kingdom of France began to consider recognition of the outlaw government. Although King Louis XVI had severe reservations, the French were tempted by the opportunity to hit back at the British, who had previously humbled them, at a time when Britain was weakest. Benjamin Franklin, the colonial envoy to Louis' court, had also become a major celebrity among the debauched, chattering, idle rich of the country and soon had all of France going crazy for America. As well as taking a French mistress, Franklin was turning France to the side of the colonies, and by extension, away from monarchist rule.

On February 6, 1778 the Kingdom of France signed an alliance with the United States of America, agreeing to aid each other in the event of a war between France and Great Britain. In America, toasts were drank in honor of King Louis XVI, the first European ruler to recognize the American nation. Across the ocean in France however, the King was not so enthusiastic about the new alliance, and before too many years had past, would certainly come to regret this alliance and the effects which were to be felt in his own country.

The financial support France granted the rebels in America ruined actually the finances of the Kingdom and led directly to the French Revolution.
