The French helped the patriots because earlier, in the French and Indian war, France and Britain were enemies and fought over the American land. When the Patriots proved themselves in the fight at Yorktown, France took it as a chance to get back at Britain.
Because France and Britain were rivals and France would do anything to make things bad for the rivals (and vice versa). Plus they probably thought it would weaken British control over Canada, which they fancied for themselves.
it gave good reasons for becoming independent
The Marquis de Lafayette
I think he wanted to be free from slavery.
The battle that won over the French government and made them decide to militarially and financially support the Americans was the American victory at Saratoga
The country that helped America in the American War of Independence is France.
Because the French wanted to get back at the British for fighting against them in the French and Indian War, and they saw their chance and went for it!

The French armed and trained the revolutionaries from the start of the war. France officialy entered in war later and send soldiers and its navy in order to destroy the British navy. The Battle of Yorktown, the final battle of the war, wouldn't have been won without the French. I speak about the American War of Independence, because I can't imagine the French helping the Patriots in the French Revolution... ?
