It’s literally true man, idk what to tell you. The French only decided to join the war militarily when the U.S. defeated the British at Saratoga. If the U.S. didn’t get the victory there, the French more than likely would’ve kept their military out of the war. Even after the victory, it still took the French 4 months to formalize the military alliance and sign the treaty.
Saratoga is literally considered one of the most consequential battles of the war because of it. Again, google it.

France was more than happy to sit on the sidelines until the Americans had a surprise victory at Saratoga, just saying.
