Some of what you said was correct. French philosophers and thought did influence American concepts of liberty however it was the American revolution that served as inspiration for the French revolution.
America. 1776. Revolutionary War ended in 1784.
French Revolution. 1789 -
There are countless historical references and commentary that show the French were inspired by the American success at revolution.
The writing of Thomas Paine in particular but there are many others.
