During the American Revolution, France was ruled by King Louis XVI. Napoleon did not take power until 1799.
Napoleon was unable to defeat Great Britain; any chance for an invasion of England was ended with the Royal Navy's victory at Trafalgar in 1805.
France was a land power under Napoleon, but the Royal Navy was dominant on the seas and a sea power will almost always defeat a land power.

Britain is an island, even Hitler couldn't make it over the 18 miles of sea,140 years later. That's why I am so baffled about the fear of the USA to be "invaded".

I think Napoleon saved Britain for last. Unfortunately, he died before he could get to it.

If you mean the American Revolution, please check on who was in charge of France at the time. The French didn't overthrow the monarchy until 1789.
