The French did intervene in the US Revolutionary War. That's probably why there is a United States today.

Yes, WWII is well documented. The point was we didn't send in our full military until 1941. It's possible tens of millions more people would not have died if we had joined earlier.

That's not the civil war I asked about though -- the revolutionary war was already between 2 different nations (well, one under construction).

And there was other differences: France did it to weaken Britain (the part which was their rival to their colonial and trade empire). Not to "bring justice/democracy/what have you".

And if France could do much power-wise, it would have taken whatever much it could from the new nation.
