A good measure of France's support of us during the Revolution can be found just a year later. They offered to assist Ireland in freeing itself of their English master in that same way they helped us. They promising an invasion army, artillery and to arm the Irish.
Unfortunately for the Irish they believed the French. On the side France and England had started playing kissie face again. On the appointed day the Irish rose up, and the French arrived with only a token force (they had to defend their honor I guess), no artillery and no arms for the Irish.
So the Irish ended up fighting the English with pikes and clubs. At the final battle, upon mutual agreement, the token French force was allowed to retreat from the field whereas the Irish were slaughtered to the man.
The English wined and dined their French friends for a couple of weeks then sent them home on parole...while the slaughter of the Irish continued.
Never trust the French!
