What reading level is France in the American Revolution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the motives which actuated the French ministers in their decision were not wholly philanthropic, they were neither petty nor sordid. The advantages for her- self which France could hope for, and the only ones for which she asked when peace was made, were not, as Vergennes justly said, of sufficient importance to justify an appeal to arms : release from the ignomin- ious conditions at Dunkirk imposed by the Treaty of Utrecht, some increase in fishery rights on the coast of Newfoundland, and t...he recovery of some petty islands in the West Indies. These were of small importance.
236 FRANCE IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR To separate the United States from England and weaken the insolent enemy of the House of Bourbon was the object and the justification of the war.^ In all these long diplomatic papers we find no dis- cussion of wrongs suffered by the American colonists, of rights to be protected, or liberties to be assured. Verg^ennes thouo-ht that France should interfere in behalf of the colonies because thereby she could humble a rival and avenge past defeats.
