The French soldiers had gone to fight against the British in the American war of independence. They were deeply influenced with the freedom, love for liberty and self-respecting lifestyle of the American people. Feelings of patriotism and liberty were awakened in the French soldiers. The soldiers and officers who returned from America, propagated the ideals of freedom, and dedication to the motherland of the American people in French society. They became aware of the political, religious and social rights of people. They began to demand these rights in France itself. Thus, despite the American revolution being of a different form it became an inspiration for the French revolution.
