It is a well known fact that the French Revolution was influenced by the U.S. winning the war, but on the other hand, its roots were far deeper. The first signs were criticisms of French Mercantilism around Louis XIV's death early in the century due to a bubble involving the Mississippi Company, which involved bankrupcy over a currency shortage from goods coming from New France. Many of the Philosophes wrote before 1776, and Voltaire passed away in the OTL war as an elderly man. What is unclear is what would it have been like and would Washington and Jefferson have been martyrs?
