@Guildou, the last thing I would add is that the British do know about French successes, I was amazed back in year 8 when I learnt about Napoleon's successes against Austria, Russia and Prussia but I can't help but realise when it came to French fighting the British in the Napoleonic era, we were victorious - Aboukir Bay, Trafalgar, Talavera, Vittoria, Waterloo... So in the last Anglo-French conflict the British are left with an image of our superiority in combat, that is all...
@Guildou, You do understand I am siding with you? I was simply stating that Eikkkn was wrong in regards to previous points. The problem is that Dien Bien Phu was a shock because Vietnamese troops typically seen as irregulars successfully defeated French troops in open combat and many French battles in WW1 involved extraordinary losses of life in return for victory (almost Pyrrhic in nature). I am not saying Britain is better than France or vice versa we both have proud military histories.
@eikkkN I don't mention the Somme you idiot, second though Verdun was a victory it was an extremely costly one a full 100,000 more Frenchmen died than the number of Germans lost at the battle. The Somme was hardly a French Victory more an Allied victory given the British contributed more troops to that battle throughout its duration, so stfu. Also in the Falklands we lost 258 men, the Argies lost 649 and 11,313 were taken prisoner and we won the war. How was that unsustainable you fool?
@Guildou the thing about France is that in it's most recent history it hasn't been the most successful nation in warfare... As a Brit unfortunately what springs to mind when I think of French battles these spring to mind - Trafalgar, Waterloo, Sedan, Verdun, Mons, Marne, surrender in WW2, defeat in Indo-China - Dien Bien Phu and the relinquishing of Algeria. Unfortunately we don't remember Rocroi, Fontenoy, Austerlitz... I guess because we only fought in one of them.
You'd better guess it's because we lost only few battles, and when France lose or win, battles involved are geopoliticaly important.
Trafalgar, losse of naval capacity for Spain and France, England is now the only master of the seas (in an era of colonisation, trade and woldwide empires, it's so important).
Waterloo, one of the only battle lost by Napoleon, end of Revolutionnary France era, it's so important in history.
France surrender in WW2, the biggest army of the time (France) + one of the best (England) lose the battle of France against the best motorized army of the time. Isn't it an important event ?
Verdun (it's a French victory btw), biggest and deadliest and most long battle of all times. Marne battle (it's a French victory too), a turning point in WW1, civilian cabs of Paris requisitioned to bring troops to the front, the war becomes a Total War.
Dien Bien Phu : the heroic resistance of a few French troops lost in the jungle against a huge army supported by China. The French Legionnaires jump on the battle to help their friends even if they know the battle is lost.
Algeria : successfull military operations, France won Algerian war, France gave independance to Algeria after a referendum given by De Gaulle.
etc.
You remember important battles, because when France fight, it's always important
France should investigate its own "dirty and bloody history instead of other nations France was responsible for the deaths of 45,000 people in Algeria in 1945 and for the massacre of up to 800,000 people in Rwanda in 1994.PLEASE CHECK WIKIPEDIA
The French were never strong after the Napoleonic era. But prior to that, they had the biggest land force in Europe since the Frankish Empire.
That is like 1000 years of military dominance and clout. You must understand that without France, England will still be a scandinavian backwater in terms of technology which the Normans brought through conquest of England.
Also, the English never conquered France but France had a duchy named Normandy that trounced the saxons.
I don't think the French would have considered their own revolution, had the American Revolution not occurred. Also, what have the french or the british contributed to the world since?
the Iphone ... What the hell are you talking about ?!
France is one of the best country in the world nowadays , we invented many things (cinema , photography , gas working cars , and many other things) , we created human rights and we have a great history. and we helped you with your independance. USA is great also , but learn respect from France , because you dont own us , you are not superior to us , that's why you were pissed when we decided not to go on Irak or to leave NATO.
@66jewkoala On les a aidés pour leur indépendance dans le seul but d'emmerder les anglais. Et puis c'est Napoléon qui a largué nos même colonies car il avait rétabli l'esclavage qu'il avait promis d'abolir. Donc bon c'est mitigé. Après l'autre m'a l'air d'un bon stéréotype américain, tu as raison. Et c'est clair, pourquoi cette musique?

@Scoutrussp7 wouldnt any country get fucked up if they were facing that many countries at once and dude i was talkin bout at the battle of austerlitz which this video takes place so yea fuck off
We agree on Charlemagne, because Germans and French have both Frankish & Germanic origins. He was Emperor of the West (ern Europe) and today he's an ancient monarch of France & Germany and the father of the both countries.
We agree on Jeanne d'Arc.
Louis XIV was "Roi de France et de Navarre" King of France and Navarre. But he was French, spoke French, lived in Versailles.
Now Napoleon. He was speaking French, he was Emperor of France, and he fought for France, he was
born in Corsica, Corsica was and is still a French region just like Champagne, Bourgogne, Aquitaine, Provence, Bretagne, Normandie etc... He was a French from Corsica, the first Frenchman of France because he was Emperor of France.
Napoleon conquered what is now known as Italy, Napoleon unified the regions of Italy and created the Italy as we know now. He made his brother-in-law, Joachim Murat, King of Naples, the French sounding is Roi de Naples.
Joseph Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother was titled King of Spain after France conquered Spain. That doesn't make Napoleon a spaniard lol.
Rome, the Vatican and the Pope was under the protection of the French Empire.
ITALY is a CREATION of Napoleon, it didn't exist before him. So Napoleon can't be Italian.
In 1796, before the Napoleonic wars, Italy doesn't exist, there's the Republic of Genoa, the Duchys of Parma, Modena and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, the Republic of Venice, the Bishopric of Trent, the Papal State, the Kingdom of Sicily, the one of Sardinia & the other one of Ragusa.
Corsica is French & France is a Republic at that time.
italy didnt exist after napoleon died either. it came about in 1870s..
napoleon had his origins from genoa, since genoa is now in italy and genoians speak italian, napoleon was italian.
i know its hard to understand that but yu must stop stealing history, one day you might even say ottoman turkey was french because sultan ahmed had 2 french wives...
Nonsense, his family is in the Corsican nobility and has minor links with the Grand Duché de Toscane nobility.
Nothing about Italia which don't exist at the time, nothing about Gênoa.
You are ridiculous, Americans are seriously lacking knowledge in History...
I bet you are jealous and complexed with the lack of US History, that's why you come on the Web to bash a nation like France which have more than 1500 years of glorious History.
@Guildou napoleon had no drop of french blood. you know that yourself. world history=american history. which country does france ask for help when they are being ass raped? USA which country does everyone else ask for help during a natural disaster? USA who was the first to get to haiti? USA who led the rescue of the chiliean miners? USA who saved europe from the nazis? USA who saved france twice...in a row? USA
I'm using English because I'm an educated Frenchman, I know English, French, German & Japanese (Nihongo Daijobu).
English language is made up by 40% of French since France colonized England in the 12th century, Guillaume le Conquérant, do you know ? Did you know England stayed a country where nobility spoke French during 4 centuries ?
RICHARD the LIONHEART spoke FRENCH, he wasn't able to speak English, he lived in France rather than England, he was buried in France.
If you follow the news, you know Liban is linked to France by History and was lastly attacked by Israel, Côte d'Ivoire is an old French colony and currently the Licorne operation involve EU & UN with a French commandment, and the Georgia conflict with Russia has been terminated by France through diplomaty.
EU is first (before USA) to provide humanitarian help after natural disasters, war or starvations in the whole world.
Haiti is a French spaking country, an old French colony, people there asked help to the whole world, USA were here first because the 2 countries are neighbours, be sure France arrived and is still here. If USA have the first Haitian community, France has the second one worldwide.
Same for Chile, this country is USA's neighbour.
Allies beated the Nazis, not USA alone. Humbleness please.
Man, be sure France isn't the ennemy of USA, the French & the Americans are old friends, as a French I like USA & I have no reason to bash the USA unless an American bash France. So please, be humble to an your friend (me as a Frenchman).
And stop speaking about the 2 world wars because you don't know what France did, the French losses during WWI is superior to every USA's losses after all wars USA was involved in including war for independance.
Why don't you show gratitude to France who saved you from the English in the war for US independance ?
The day after Yorkown, Thomas Jefferson said "Every man has 2 countries, his own & France".
"In total naval & military participants, the French outnumbered the Americans between 3 or 4 to 1, the strategy of the campaign was Rochambeau's, the French fleet was here because of his arrangement, the tactics were his, Yorktown is Rochambeau's victory."
@Guildou churchill was pro french and also an idoit...galipoli was his blunder
eisenhower was an idoit that lost us korea, kipling was a well known eurocentric rascist, de gaule and rivaroli were both french so of course they will say good things about themselves...george bush was one of the worst presidents ever...
@MrPhucyu123 Some other quotes for a French basher like you : "The French soldiers are grand. They are grand. There is no other word to express it". Arthur Conan Doyle "Their business is war, and they do their business". R. Kipling "France was built with the sword". Charles De Gaulle "The problem with the French is that they have no word for entrepreneur ". George W. Bush "When Paris sneezes, Europe catches cold". Metternich "England needs the world, the world needs France". Rivaroli
Hitler answer to Lutz Koch, coming back from Bir Hakeim :
"You've heard, gentlemen, what Koch recounts. It is a new proof of the thesis I've always supported; namely, that French are still, after us, the best soldiers in Europe. France will always have the possibility, even with its current birthrate, to raise a hundred divisions. We will definitely, after this war, have to set up a coalition able to militarily control a country capable of such impressive military feats."
He had the most efficient motorized army of the time, he tried it during the attack of Guernica (Spain) and after during the invasion of Poland where his divisions of Tanks suffered a lot and were not ready for a France invasion due to communication problems between the units, and supplies chains problems. He ameliorated his tank units during the phoney war and invaded Belgium (a neutral state) in order to reach France. It wasn't respecting the rules of war but it was a good strat
but despite it on the world stage the last week France dealt with the Tunisian revolution, more than USA ; the last months France dealt with Côte d'Ivoire, operation Licorne is still here and protect Ouattara, not USA ; the last years France stopped the Georgia - Russia war, not USA. France was as much as or maybe more than USA negociating the peace between Liban & Israel. France was right with Irak war, not USA.
@Oscar35135 Not true - a lot of British historians write from a biased pro-British point of view. But given that Britain has been at war with nearly every country in the world, as well as several of its own civil wars, dating back to BC and early AD times, there is a lot to write about unlike, say 250 year old America. European history has a lot of room for historical research, and Britain day play a major part in it, whether good or bad. Same with most of the world it expanded its Empire into.
@Jabthecat I think you mean Americans. They can't even find any other country on a map - the lack of international history, geography and politics taught in the isolationist US leaves a lot to be admired.
@Guildou You forget the battle of the Chesapeake where the French Navy kept the british fleet from reinforcing Cornwallis. leading to his eventual surrender at Yorktown and the end of the American War of Independence.
@Guildou At home obeying the monroe doctrine :D and training an army... but we "officialy" entered the war in '16 and landed in '17 april '18 was the end of WW1
@Guildou Yes, we all know this. Somme offensive would have made or broke germany had we not intervened, albeit a long shot to say without us WW1 would have been won by the central powers, it isnt so much to say that Wilson wanted us in the war for prestige of his 14 points and The league of nations. Which just for funnies our own congress defeated and the european countries accepted. Isnt that a lol XD
I am always amazed by the devolution of a once-great warrior nation in the 1800's to the poorly -led French army of WWI to the thoroughly weak army opposing Germany in WWII. What happened to France within that time frame? I am not trying to be inflammatory, I am truly puzzled.
@ctbrg In truth Napoleon was something of a freak of history in that he was so good for his time period, whatever nation he was alligned to would have been the dominant power in the late 18th early 19th century, before and after that France is a mediocre nation (militarily speaking). Pre Napoleon they'd lost ground to Britain in the various succesion wars and Seven Years War, after Napoleon they focused on an arms race with Britain, dodgy Crimean war, then Franco-Prussian war 1870 saw...
@ctbrg ...saw another collapse, in truth its a miracle (on the Meuse) that France didn't go under in 1914, if the British hadn't held the Germans in check in the north the French would have been overwhelmed. The French Army mutinied in 1917, finally sick of its bad officer corps. It was he British (and to a lesser extent the Americans) who won on the Western front in 1918.
By World War Two another freak of history had come along, Heinz Guderian and the Blitzkreig tactics.
@CJLinton Did not General DeGaulle also theorize the exact tank-warfare tactics that led to the collapse of the 3rd republic? By a simple stroke of fate, he wasn't given the opportunity to prepare the Allies' defenses accordingly.
Why are you talking about Germany and the world wars? It seems that you don't know nothing about these. Please don't speak about something that you know only by stupid films or videogames.
y wenever i find this song it never sounds exactly like this 1 i found a song very similiar only shorter and just not the same so can some1 help me find the right song
either way, everytime someone from Spain, Egypt, Italy, G Britain, USA even thinks of the word Germany all they can think of are skinhead idiots that follow people like sheep. At least cows go their own way, and aren't ruled like sheep
You do know Russians fought with limited weapons until the end of the war right? that's why those figures are skewed, plus Germany took them by surprise, a big advantage in any war. You STILL fucking lost, even by cheating!!! German - inferior race.
& also by the French Armies and the French Soldiers don't forget that !! :-)
By their great courage, great abnegation, the great experiment of the wars & the great discipline in the French Armies and their soldiers
The French knew their combat right and for justice, they knew that they fought for a good cause for the equality and the sovereignty of the peoples, and alone vs the whole old Europe of the kings
They fought very well like lions because they knew that the truth and the future were in their side & not in that of the kings autocrats and dictators who fought only for them and to preserve their ashamed privileges without giving any chances to the people to rise socially
@CharlePhilippeLafont The much lager France lost their best men to the small prussian army. It isn a great tactical act if you fight agains an Army with more than the common Army on your own side.. it was more than France people vs an Army of Mercenaries, what armys used to be on the Prussian and Austrian side.
@Patriote17 technically prussia was a german state, since what is now germany was a ton of separate nations. germany wasnt really germany until 1871. so you are half right as prussia was part of germany... but comparing the two is like comparing modern italy with the roman empire.
Where is this video from? I have never seen the charge across the bridge at Lodi in a film and would love to see the movie where this is from . . . Thx

Man, be sure France isn't the ennemy of USA, the French & the Americans are old friends, as a French I like USA & I have no reason to bash the USA unless an American bash France. So please, be humble to an your friend (me as a Frenchman).
And stop speaking about the 2 world wars because you don't know what France did, the French losses during WWI is superior to every USA's losses after all wars USA was involved in including war for independance.

Why don't you show gratitude to France who saved you from the English in the war for US independance ?
The day after Yorkown, Thomas Jefferson said "Every man has 2 countries, his own & France".
"In total naval & military participants, the French outnumbered the Americans between 3 or 4 to 1, the strategy of the campaign was Rochambeau's, the French fleet was here because of his arrangement, the tactics were his, Yorktown is Rochambeau's victory."

Pétain won Verdun just like Rochambeau won Yorktown.
Other quotes :
-"The French held 7 german divisions in Dunkirk. England wouldn't have been able to carry on the war without them".
Winston Churchill
Maybe Churchill was pro French so :
- "The Free French had been of inestimable value in the campaign."
Dwight D. Eisenhower
- "The value of French Resistance was equal to 10 to 15 divisions at the time of the landings".
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Hitler answer to Lutz Koch, coming back from Bir Hakeim :
"You've heard, gentlemen, what Koch recounts. It is a new proof of the thesis I've always supported; namely, that French are still, after us, the best soldiers in Europe. France will always have the possibility, even with its current birthrate, to raise a hundred divisions. We will definitely, after this war, have to set up a coalition able to militarily control a country capable of such impressive military feats."

He had the most efficient motorized army of the time, he tried it during the attack of Guernica (Spain) and after during the invasion of Poland where his divisions of Tanks suffered a lot and were not ready for a France invasion due to communication problems between the units, and supplies chains problems. He ameliorated his tank units during the phoney war and invaded Belgium (a neutral state) in order to reach France. It wasn't respecting the rules of war but it was a good strat

France is a small country ya,
but despite it on the world stage the last week France dealt with the Tunisian revolution, more than USA ; the last months France dealt with Côte d'Ivoire, operation Licorne is still here and protect Ouattara, not USA ; the last years France stopped the Georgia - Russia war, not USA. France was as much as or maybe more than USA negociating the peace between Liban & Israel. France was right with Irak war, not USA.

I think you mix up France with an other country.
"There have been 53 major wars in Europe
France had been a belligerent in 49 of them; UK 43.
In 185 battles that France had fought over the past 800 years, their armies had won 132 times, lost 43 times and drawn only 10.
Giving the French military the best record of any country in Europe".
BBC History
Before Irak invasion, they watched "La bataille d'Alger" in the Pentagone.

@Oscar35135 Not true - a lot of British historians write from a biased pro-British point of view. But given that Britain has been at war with nearly every country in the world, as well as several of its own civil wars, dating back to BC and early AD times, there is a lot to write about unlike, say 250 year old America. European history has a lot of room for historical research, and Britain day play a major part in it, whether good or bad. Same with most of the world it expanded its Empire into.

I am always amazed by the devolution of a once-great warrior nation in the 1800's to the poorly -led French army of WWI to the thoroughly weak army opposing Germany in WWII. What happened to France within that time frame? I am not trying to be inflammatory, I am truly puzzled.
ctbrg 1 year ago
@ctbrg In truth Napoleon was something of a freak of history in that he was so good for his time period, whatever nation he was alligned to would have been the dominant power in the late 18th early 19th century, before and after that France is a mediocre nation (militarily speaking). Pre Napoleon they'd lost ground to Britain in the various succesion wars and Seven Years War, after Napoleon they focused on an arms race with Britain, dodgy Crimean war, then Franco-Prussian war 1870 saw...

@ctbrg ...saw another collapse, in truth its a miracle (on the Meuse) that France didn't go under in 1914, if the British hadn't held the Germans in check in the north the French would have been overwhelmed. The French Army mutinied in 1917, finally sick of its bad officer corps. It was he British (and to a lesser extent the Americans) who won on the Western front in 1918.
By World War Two another freak of history had come along, Heinz Guderian and the Blitzkreig tactics.

@CJLinton Did not General DeGaulle also theorize the exact tank-warfare tactics that led to the collapse of the 3rd republic? By a simple stroke of fate, he wasn't given the opportunity to prepare the Allies' defenses accordingly.

@CharlePhilippeLafont The much lager France lost their best men to the small prussian army. It isn a great tactical act if you fight agains an Army with more than the common Army on your own side.. it was more than France people vs an Army of Mercenaries, what armys used to be on the Prussian and Austrian side.
