Question

which of the following pairs of countries became colonial allies during the american revolution? france and spain france and great britain russia and spain spain and great britain

Explanation:

During the American Revolution, the Thirteen Colonies (later the United States) sought allies against Great Britain. France and Spain both had reasons to oppose British colonial power and allied with the American colonists (France more directly, Spain more indirectly in support against Britain). Great Britain was the opponent, so pairs with Great Britain (France and Great Britain, Spain and Great Britain) are incorrect. Russia was not a colonial ally in the American Revolution. So the correct pair is France and Spain.

Answer:

A. France and Spain
