No, more like the US's revolution likely wouldn't have succeeded if it wasn't for the French support.
France's revolution attempted for a democracy but that got twisted and they got Emperor Napoleon, so then they had to fight again.
Edit: And today the US and France are again fighting similar political battles so it feels like the strong support from a French person has a long history.
