The intervention of foreign powers did in fact have a significant impact on the outcome of the Americas Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Civil War. In the American Revolution, the French came to the Americans aid to fight the British
in 1778 and supported America in achieving victory and independence with both materials and force. In the War of 1812, the Russian Tsar Alexander I played a vital role in the conclusion of the war. He didn’t want the British ally to lose any more in the battle with America, so he brought together American peacemakers in 1814, and the Treaty of Ghent was promptly signed, an resolution that ended the war. In the Civil War, the British in the beginning supplied the South with boats and naval supplies. The South became dependent on the British, and it quickly ceased after the North threatened to cut off food supply to the British. In conclusion the Americas Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Civil War all could have very likely had a different outcome with the absent of foreign intervention.
