Foreign Intervention in American Wars

The intervention of non- warring powers in American wars has made the difference between victory and defeat. The intervention of the French in the American Revolution saved America in the war, the colonists would have fallen if not for the aid they received. The French intervention not only saved America but gave it the advantage it needed to win the war. I the War of 1812 with no European intervention, American did not fare well, and ultimately America nor Britain won the war. In the Civil War, the lack of British aid for the south damped morale and the hopes that the British could beat the Union in the seas. Foreign intervention gives America a chance to regroup and it boosts morale and fighting spirit. It also helped with weapons, food, and funds. The lack of British aid is one of the main reasons that the south was beaten and destroyed in the war and the north came out of it more prosperous than before.
