1. France
When it comes to thinking of France as an ally of America, most people’s minds would be cast back to the Second World War, where we stood shoulder to shoulder with France to fight the spread of Nazism and fascism. However, our history with France goes back much further, and are considered our oldest ally.
After being named an agent of a diplomatic commission by the Continental Congress, one month later, Benjamin Franklin sets sail from Philadelphia for France on October 26, 1776, to secure an alliance with France against the British. Between 1778 and 1782, they provided us with supplies, arms and ammunition, troops and naval support, transported reinforcements, helped fight off a British fleet, and protected General Washington’s forces in Virginia.
