American Influence on the French Revolution (feat. Atun-Shei Films)

Historians often talk about how revolution spread. There’s this general idea of “World Revolution,” as in how a new power dynamic embodied in an idea can sweep the world rendering a whole series of revolutions into a singular movement. After all, ideas are inherently transnational. When interpreted this way, we can see the French Revolution was neither the first nor last event of such a movement - called the Bourgeois or Atlantic Revolution. The first generally recognized event was the United States independence, so I think it’s time to explore how the US managed to influence the French Revolution instead.
