Benjamin Franklin had been in France for over a year before France decided to join the war.

The rupture came in March when British ambassador Lord Stormont was recalled from Paris, but since neither fleet was ready for service, actual hostilities did not begin until July.

from wikipedia

then france got what is now quebec and part of Canada and Canada was under britsh rule and still is part of the commonwealth heck our money still has the queen on it but yet Canada and the US have been allies for over 200 years.

the US needed the french and spanish navy to take on the massive british fleet remember it was 1778
What part of "Since the French revolution, the French have never been allies with the US." were you not able to comprehend? Or are you just too stupid to understand that 1791 came after 1778?

Absolutely, we should always dislike what we can't afford.

Not any in the port cities I was forced to visit while in the Navy nor any of the ones my dad worked with. You see, my dad spoke fluent French (he passed away September last year) because of his Cajun heritage. Because of his language skills, he was able to hear how his fench co-workers really felt about Americans.

The FRENCH may hate Americans but I remember a young woman many years ago that did not hate me. Alas we had to part but I still remember her and always will.
