Chapter 631 (2/2)

Now even the stone bear does not know whether the French Declaration of war on Britain is good or bad.

In the original historical time and space, because of the victory of Saratoga, the French saw the weakness of the British, so they decided to declare war on the British in early March 1778.

In this era, although Britain is the most powerful country in Europe, there are few people in Europe who like Britain.

Needless to say, Spain and the Netherlands lost their first place in Europe because they were defeated by Britain. The two countries naturally have little interest in Britain.

As for France, it is Britain's nemesis.

If Spain and Holland have been afraid to do anything to the British since they were defeated by the British, the French are still eyeing the British even if they are defeated in the seven-year war.

Do you really think the French are so willing to cede territory as big as New France and French Louisiana and India to the British?

The French lost more than half of their overseas colonies in a war, which was almost fatal to them.

But the French can't beat the British at this time, so the French are also very frustrated.

All of a sudden, there was a sudden internal strife among the British, and more than two million colonists in the new world of North America suddenly jumped out to fight for their own independence. This immediately gave the French an opportunity.

The importance of the thirteen colonies in North America to the British is something that any country in Europe knows very well. It is no exaggeration to say that the thirteen colonies of North America are the most important overseas colonies of Britain, which are even more important than India, which was just captured from the French!

Now all of a sudden, the British are rebellious. It would be strange if the French did not take this opportunity to regain their lost face and colony.

In the original historical time and space, it is generally acknowledged that because of the great victory of Saratoga, France declared war on Britain.

But in this time and space, Saratoga's great victory became the most tragic battle in which more than 10000 people were killed and injured on both sides. The army did not take advantage of it, and even lost more than the British, but the French still declared war on Britain.

Obviously, whether there is a victory in Saratoga or not, the French are already the bastards, determined to continue to deal with the British.

Stone bear estimated that the fundamental reason why the French declared war on the British was Louis XVI, who was controlled by the queen.

When Louis XV was in power, the French lost to the British in the seven-year war, which led to the loss of a large number of overseas colonies and the sharp decline of French financial revenue. When Louis XV died and his grandson Louis XVI came to power, he had no money in his pocket and caught up with a particularly powerful and luxurious queen, so Louis XVI also wanted to get more money.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Louis XVI aimed his eyes at the new continent of North America.

It is obvious that Louis XVI wanted to recapture the Lost Colony of North America, which would ease the situation of empty Treasury and high debt. Therefore, whether there is a great victory in Saratoga or not, it is inevitable that Louis XVI will declare war on the British.

Just declare war when you French declare war on Britain. Why send the Navy around the waters near Norfolk?

Does Louis XVI want to get back the face he lost in Norfolk?
