Summary: "Les Français en Amérique pendant la guerre de l'indépendance des États-Unis 1777-1783" by Thomas Balch is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the significant yet often overlooked involvement of France in the American Revolutionary War, detailing the causes, events, and the notable French expeditions under the command of General Rochambeau, which contributed to America's quest for independence. At the start of the work, the author outlines the political context leading to the war, asserting that while the military significance of the conflict was minor compared to other historical battles, its political repercussions were vast. Balch notes that the discontent among the American colonies due to British taxation and restrictions eventually sparked a unified revolt. He emphasizes the critical support from France, portraying it as a matter of both philosophical ideals and national rivalry against England. The opening sets the stage by tracing the historical relations between France and the American colonies, hinting at the deeper implications of their alliance and mutual aspirations for independence and democratic reform.
