Not certain of the source of @CVersailles Mathieu da Vinha figures on the cost of the American Revolution of 1.5 Billion ($? francs? €?) but the US War was only one battle in the global war between Britain & France & the USA only decided to pay à la carte for our piece pic.twitter.com/mJKGfOAODT

The US @StateDept Historian state the USA took out a $2 Million loan from France - stopped payment on interest in 1785 vs 1783 as da Vinha said - but resumed and paid back loans in 1795 - which didn't help poor Marie Antoinette much since she died in 1793https://t.co/ZiI4W096Xi pic.twitter.com/r7GzwMIhqW

@FranceAmerique points out that France periodically brings up their financing of the US Revolution every time the US tries to collect any debts from France - it places the figure the USA repaid France between 1778 –1815 at $6,352,500https://t.co/sCSN7a2Jat pic.twitter.com/ONyRmc9VQy
