Answer:

France´s support played an important role in the American triumph in the Revolutionary War, and it was absolutely fundamental in some battles. The French provided supplies, weapons and military advisors, Frenchmen served as soldiers in the Continental Army, and the French Navy participated in armed actions against the British. For example, the French warships blocked sea access and bombed English fortifications during the siege of Yorktown that ended with surrender of the British commander-in-chief, Lord Cornwallis.
