The kite that won the Revolution

Benjamin Franklin's study of electricity led to his invention of the lightning rod, which helped establish his name in Europe as well as in the North American Colonies. When the Colonies needed France's help to gain independence, Franklin's scientific reputation, his skill as a diplomat, and his popularity with the French aristocracy secured the alliance needed to defeat the British.
