Marquis de Lafayette led the French military in helping the USA win independence , later when Spain and Holland declared war on the British in Europe it became obvious to the British they couldn't do two separate wars at once .

Austerlitz

just to precice that Charlemagne and Charles Martel were not french since France didn't exist at that time. Charlemagne was a frankish king, he rule most of western Europe, included most of Italy.
like most Frankish people he was culturally Germanic.
In many ways he could be considered more easily German than French.
