Detailed Solution

Louis XVI of the Bourbon dynasty succeeded to the French throne in 1774. He was 20 years old when he betrothed Marie Antoinette, an Austrian princess. The new monarch came into power with an empty treasury. In addition, long years of war had depleted France's financial resources.
France assisted the thirteen American colonies in obtaining independence from the mutual enemy, Britain, under Louis XVI. The thirteen colonies were a set of British colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America, often known as the Thirteen British Colonies, the Thirteen American Colonies, or the United Colonies. They were founded in the 17th and 18th centuries and participated in the American Revolutionary War in April 1775, declaring complete independence in July 1776.
Hence the Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.
