As a French, the fact that no white flag was mentioned in these comments like it would have inevitably on reddit shows the quality of the chaps in here.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité. The Americans learned it from you lot. Might do them well to remember.

Wasn't the American revolution like a decade before the French one?

Yep, you're right. After a quick search, it looks like the American Revolution started in 1765, and the French Revolution started in 1789.

However, I know French policies and political development had a profound impact on the ideas central to liberal democracies, as it could also be said of American policies and political development.
