Best Answer

Spain and France were the two main European countries (there was one more I believe) that took up arms against the Britishduring the American Revolution, however, not necessarily as allies to the Americans. France had a formal alliance with the Americans, yet only after the decisive battle of Saratoga. Spain, on the other hand, had no such alliance and pursued a more independent strategy against the British. This was due to Spain and France's fear of the threat that an American nation would be to their respective territories in the New World. However, note that the Americans considered their support of the Spanish, and even their alliance with the French, as mere tools in the pursuit of a victory of the British; many American leaders did indeed have dreams of expansion, as the Spanish and French feared.

Three European countries fought against the British as allies to the American Colonists during the American Revolution: France, Spain, and the Netherlands. However, only the French and Spanish mobilized troops along or within the North American colonies.
