Answer 1

the answer is D. Spain was motivated to help the American colonist by a desire to regain the land it lost to Britain and other European powers made incremental gains against British possessions in the parts of the world. although some dreamers in Spain envisioned it's eventual possession of the entire new world there is no evidence such an idea guided it's assistance to the American colonist. France and Spain were under bourbon kings. Louis the 16th and Carlos the 3rd. American possessions had been significantly reduced by the 1763 Treaty of Paris that ended the seven years war. the Spanish and French kings provided large loans and outright contributions of money through a fictitious private trading company.
