The American Revolution and the French Revolution: Both Served to Inspire the People of Their Country
The American Revolution was important in more than one way, and it served as inspiration for the rest of the world. The most important thing that happened as a result of the American Revolution is that a brand new country was created, and secondly, the rest of the world found that they could also achieve what they set out to do, because of the American Revolution. It was on the Fourth of July that the Declaration of Independence was signed, and this was the day that America became a free independent democracy.
