Louis XVI became king of France in 1774. On his accession, France was poverty-stricken and burdened with debts, and heavy taxation had resulted in widespread misery among the French people. Immediately after he was crowned,Louis remitted some of the most oppressive taxes and instituted financial and judicial reforms.
Becauseeven though France was as good as bankrupt, King Louis XVI still sent troops to America to help the Americans fight their re-pressers (the English, whom had been an arch enemy of France for centuries) so America could be an independent country with a Declaration of Independence.
Without the French, America might still have been English territory today and ruled by the British.
