Explanation:

The French Revolution was a revolution that started on the 5th of May, 1789 and ended on the 9th of November, 1799 at the kingdom of France.

Basically, the revolution was centered around the decision made by the French citizens to redesign and restructure their political landscape and leadership styles and as such led to the abolishment of the feudal system (Ancien Regime) and absolute monarchy. Also, this revolution caused a lot of political turmoil and chaotic bloodbath leading to the death of King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette in the month of January, 1793.

The American Revolutionary War was a war of independence of the United States of America that was fought between the 19th of April, 1775 and 3rd of September, 1783. The war started when the delegates from the thirteen (13) American colonies in Congress (First continental congress) revolted against the Great Britain over their lack of representation in the colonies and refusal to give consent to parliament's taxation such as Stamp Act and Townshend Acts.

Hence, the similarity between the French and American Revolutions is that both revolts were against monarchs and involved tax policies.
