Answer:

The correct answer is D. During the American Revolutionary War, France sent money, supplies, soldiers, and ships to aid the Americans.

Explanation:

In the American War of Independence (1775-1783), France fought alongside the United States against Great Britain, beginning in 1778.

The objective of France was to weaken England, to prevent it from becoming more powerful and to take revenge for the defeat that France suffered in the Seven Years' War. After the American victory at Saratoga (1777), and after the French Navy was rehabilitated, France was ready. In 1778 France recognized the United States as a sovereign nation, signed a military alliance, and created coalitions with the Netherlands and Spain, which kept Britain without a significant ally to help it. It gave the Americans grants, weapons, loans, and sent an army to serve under George Washington, that prevented the second British army from escaping from Yorktown in 1781.
