How was the French Revolution similar to the American Revolution?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The French Revolution was similar to the American Revolution in that they both began due to anger over taxation.
Key Takeaway: Unfair taxation was a motivating factor in both Revolutions. The American Revolution was largely begun by what the revolutionaries deemed "intolerable taxation," such as the Townshend Act, the Tea Act, and the Stamp Act. In France, unfair taxes were also passed and the tax burden was only placed upon the Third Estate, while the First and Second Estates were exempt.
