@MonsieurVinc ya thats pretty sad that you would attack a country that isnt allowed to have an army right now and even if there was a war today the Americans would step in!!! so goodluck with that!!!
@teutonalex, It's a pity that Germany lost both WWs. In WW I, every German offensive was crushed, at the Marne twice, Verdun, Spring Offensive. etc...
The French even occupied part of Germany for many decades.
@expertstrategy Yep, and the french had no decisive hand in any of those victories but were allowed to sit at the victor's table out of pity and courtesy.
Courtesy of the other half of the world that it took to beat the Germans who live in a country the size of Texas.
@teutonalex, "Yep, and the french had no decisive hand in any of those victories but were allowed to sit at the victor's table out of pity and courtesy."
First Marne, 1 million French and only 70,000 Brits against 1.4 million Germans. Result, Allied victory (mostly French)
Second Marne) French soldiers compose 3/4 of the Allied army.
Verdun, German plan to bleed France dry failed badly.
The German military in 1870 was the best in Europe and maintained that status until 1945. France kept her status as the dominant military power in Europe from 1648-1871.
@16891291616 God bless Germany, the people of Germany deserve credit for a beautiful history and culture. All those that pose a threat to Germany or Northern Europe should be destroyed.
@hardstyle905 It's the last of the Mohican's Celtic version glad you liked it Germans deserve to learn some great battles they one against the French, Time to reclaim your pride mate god bless.

At those times the main caracteristic of France was the weakness of the King. Actualy the king of France didn't had power over everywhere in France exept the region where he lived. Dukes of Champagne, Aquitaine, Anjou for exemple had more power than the King. So Champagne for exemple wasn't France?
Actualy the main caracteristic in France in those times was the weakness of the King in front of his nobleman vassals. The Duke of Anjou, Duke of Champagne, Normandy, Aquitaine were more powerful than the King.
So Champagne and Aquitaine for exemple weren't French?
Sorry mate Normandy was independent from 54 till the 1400 hundreds, the Flemish and Breton's were also sovereign, there was no victory for the French at Hastings.
It's a different situation, the king of France didn't invade Champagne or Bretagne or any other regions in fear of growing power, he did with Normandy thus ending his fief with henry Ist of France, don't try and pull that bullshit over my eyes son, you wont succeed.
Like others nobles who were more powerful than king like Duke of Champagne and others the duke of Normandy was Vassal of France's king wich create a bond with the rest of France. All vassals of a king belongs to the same kingdom. Thus Normandy belongs to kingdom of France. Their culture was almost the same comparing with the orthers duchies, the language, the christianism, and as we could see in Hastings the way of fight. Normans fought this battle using heavy cavalary in a Frankish style.
Like i said the fief ended after henry I failed to invade Normandy, thus ending Williams fief, and increasing his ambitions abroad, even William was a direct descendant of Rollo the Viking leader, Norman invasion= just a second Danish conquest. the language was massively influenced by Scandinavian, the Norman language is more similar to English than it is French, as English also as Norman has Large amounts of Germanic words.
So Normans were a realy strange kind of Vikings because Hastings battle consequence was put Britain out of Scandinavian sphere of influence and linked it mnore to European mainland. Stange that about their language being more similar to english than french because thanks this invasion 1/3 of English's vocabulary comes from French. Whithout this English language would be very close to Dutch or German like Portuguese and Spanish.
It's more similar to the Germanic languages anyway, so I don't know why you even BOTHERED started on the Language of England, Norman words are different from French have you even been to Normandy Norman- Canne Norse- Kanna French Cruche
France always beated and humiliated Prussia before for many centuries think about Napoleon he invaded your pussy country and taken Berlin for ten years until you make a cowardly coalition to beat him
@Spark02ify Well FUCK OFF then CUNT, I don't need your French bollocks here, this is for Germans to celebrate their superior military history, besides your probably not a true Frenchmen just some 2nd generation immigrant. A real Frenchmen is someone who has the ability to say no to foreign invaders such as Muslim cunts, I will give the French a cheer for voting National Front in France. Now piss off.
After Norman conquest England was ruled by Plantagenet wich was a French noble house originary from Anjou region. This house was founded by Geoffrey who was a French noble, the count of Tourainne and Anjou. He became Duke of Normandy by conquest. Thus French was the court language in England for several centuries. English mottos like "Dieu et mon droi" and "La reine le veut" also.
Im talking about the Dark ages era, they were straight descendants from the Viking stock, other large amounts of peoples also migrated to Normandy such as Anglo-Danes, and Celtic Brythonic peoples.
Plantagenet was original from inner France. In 1144 Normandy was conqued and ruled by Plantagenet who stabilished then as rulers of England. England was ruled by several centuries by French nobles.
No after the Norman conquest Of England, William set of to create what was to become the Angevin empire, the French only moved onto the English thrown due to no more heirs, not really a French victory, France couldn't conquer England them selves so they move onto the throne like cowards, Dieu et mon druit was adopted by Henry v the house of Lancaster, which was Welsh origins.
Britain never had such victory over France like the one of Whilherm the Conqueror and the Plantagenet rule over England. Thus hardly admit it. England was ruled by Plantagenet wich was a French family from Anjou. Whilherm the Conqueror was vassal of France's king and they were culturaly integrated to mainland.
Yes well said, thus breaking Williams fiefdom with Henry I but I love how the lying history twisting glory hogs do not mention that on their number 1 web victim of false historical facts and lies, WIKIPEDIA, Someone has changed the facts on the Great siege of Gibraltar saying there were 30.000 soldiers on the grand assault which there were over 75 thousand and 50 ships of some sort.
Yes the Normans won a "Glorious" victory, But face it, it wasn't a French victory Flemmish and Bretons were more present, and they wasn't French, and the Vassal was officially ended after Frances treacherous attack that failed in 1057, even if he still was a vassal (which he wasn't by the invasion) it still wouldn't change the fact that the king of France didn't have no power over Normandy, it was like a protectorate.
France was formed by several peoples. Gauls, Franks, Bretons, Alsatians, Norman. France conquered Britain in Hastings. Vikings never used to fight using chevalary charges. Normans fought in Frankish style and tatics with heavy cavalary.
@pledoux Bretons were an independent province during the Norman conquest as of Normandy and the Flemish, only a few Cavalry men from France fought in the battle, most of the cavalry were Norman, only the Normans were to be placed as Barons and counts, their language wasn't even French as it borrowed massively from Scandinavian as you will see in the province today, that the Norman language is still quite distinct. sorry to burst your bubble.
Normandy absorved the culture of French mainland, the language, the christianism, the names. And way of fight also. When they arrived almost viking sailors were men, thus to have future generations they mixed with mainland people. After Hastings England was governed by Plantagenet wich was a famili originary from Anjou region in France, something about 1/3 of english vocabulary cames from French language.
@pledoux, France didn't conquer England in 1066, if Normandy was under the control of the French king, then the conquest of England would be considered a French victory, but it is Norman victory anyway, despite the fact that many Frenchmen participated in the invasion.
@expertstrategy Norman Duke was vassal of French King who gave him same aid, as you admit men from other parts of France engaged in Battle. Norman was so French as Castilla was Spanish. MK for exemple like to show victories over castilla as victories over spain. The Plantagenet governed England, they were originary of French region of Anjou.
@pledoux Well no wrong again, Normandy was founded by the Vikings, Castile was before the uniting of the Iberian peninsular, sorry friend excuses wont get you nowhere on here, saying Normandy is French as Castile is Spanish is like Saying the Romans are Italians, which they most certainly are not.
The Franks are originary from Germany however they were the main tribe in formation of France thus the countrie has this name. Saxons are originary from Germany also, Franks are for France what Saxons are to Britain.
@pledoux They did create France, but were vastly outnumbered compared to Gaul living in France, Charlemagne beat the Saxons in Germany but never the Saxons and Angles in England, France has never conquered England.
After Charlemagne's empire division to Verdun to west is France, Verdun to east is Germany so those were the natural borders. Louis XIV was sucessful in Strech French borders untill Rhine breaking those limits. After Franco Prussian war the border returned to what it used to be in middle ages. ww1 France retook it and untill now France borde goes untill Rhine.
In the division of Chalemagne's empire France would go untill Verdun. Louis XIV Streched it untill Rhine. France lost Alsace in 1870 war but recorved it and keep it in the end. So ultill now Franco-german border goes far than Verdun limit.
In Algeria France withdraw however defeated the terrorists of FLN wich atacked French autorities. That's what Britain didn't in Palestine where Jewish terrorists killed Britsh autorities like Count Bernadotte, in the end Britain just fled and threw everything in UN's hand.
@pledoux, the prince Eugene fought against the French along with his partner, Duke of Marlborough and won many decisive victories in the Spanish War of Succession.
@LordGeorgeRodney, on the contrary, Charlemagne was Born in Herstel, Belgium, and the fact that he united the provinces and the Regnum Francorum of Gual, and set forth to campaign in Germany for fourty years. It was not the other way around, Charlemagne conquered Germany not now what is called modern day France. He even set forth into Spain to begin the Reconquista and expell the Moors. Earliest act of a similar crusade.
French revolution has begun. The first coalition was formed, everybody against France in all French borders. France was maneced also by internal enemies, the chouaneries suported by Britain. The turning point was the victory over Prussia in Valmy. 1st coalition beaten and France won
France 5 X 1 Germany
France fight and beat everybody again in 2nd coalition. In 3rd coalitin Napoleon Crushed Austria and Russia, in Germany Holy empire wich existed for 800 years dissolved.
Don't forget low countries. France crushed Britain twice in revolutionary wars. In the second one Britsh weren't alone, they had reinforcements from Russian empire. Britsh was crushed and in surrending terms Britsh had to return much more POWs than what they took in Alexandria.
@pledoux Crushed Britain in the revolutionary wars? the last acts was Britain smashing France in Egypt, the Nile and various blockades on French ports, Britain has ultimate dominance in the sea, the most important type of trade, and resources and travel.
Agsbourg League war, almost Germany + Britain + Spain + Austria + Dutch + Italian states against France. 20 battles wich 17 were French victories in all fronts. French borders still streched untill Rhine
France 4 X 0 Germany
7 years war. Frederic the great was a military genius like Napoleon. He united with other German states and Britain were victorious.
@pledoux Nine years war was an English victory no doubt, England kicks France out of Ireland LouisXl recognizes the king of England, Whilst France unable to gain anything major against England.
9 years was had a lot of fronts. France was victorious in North america front, the Britsh expedition to Quebec Failed, D'Iberville beat Britsh fleet in Hudson bay and ruined English fishery in north america. Another front was in European mainland, Marshal Montgomercy beat several times a combined army of English, Dutch and Holy empire in low countries. Tourville beat Anglo-Dutch fleet in chanel and was responsible foir smyrna fleet disaster wich was a financias cathastrofe in LLondon.
Lost in the end? in 9YW? 20 battles 17 French victories everywhere. Italian states were forced to fled from aliance, Spain was totaly crushed, in Low countries Marshall Montgomercy beat always combined armies of English, Dutch and Holy empire. Just another desperate historical manipulation by MK! oH God!
@pledoux Excuses Novia Scotia was captured by the British and the French cried for it back, The Dutch re garrisoned their forts and put down a firm border, the French were Crushed at Namur, the most important event of the war, William crushed the French Irish ect in Ireland, James dies a lonely old man in France with no country to rule over.
@pledoux France was not victorious in North America, the British conquered nova Scotia of the French and was given back after ryswick treaty, although being defeated the last offensive attack was from Britain, (Quebec).
Don't forget taht in 9YW England had one major power as enemy. France. France had as enemy Dutch, English, Spanish, Almost Germany, italian states. Britsh were sucessful in Ireland however France beat then in European mainland, north america and Tourville was almost victorious over the sea fighting against 3 maritime powers at same time, England, Dutch and Spain.
About Hundred years war thanks artilhery and new tatics with it France could retake in a very short period of time territories wich English spent decades to conquer.
What like Agincourt hahaha, Like I said England was hit hard by the Plague and Rebellions in Wales and Ireland otherwise the war would have no doubt been ours.
The second German empire was a force to be reckoned with, their domination of Europe lasted for at least 75 years from 1870-1945. Despite the defeat of WW I, they quickly rose to power again under Nazi leadership. It's impressive on how a country can recover so quickly after undergoing such devastation after a war. Their economy was rebuilt twice very quickly, with the rise of Hitler, and the "Economic miracle" in the 1950s shortly after the second world war.
Since the 1860s the Prussian army was the best in Europe. Believe me, mastercheff, experienced imperial armies like the French and the Austrians are far more powerful enemies than Zulus armed with spears. But Moltke was not a stupid Lord Raglan, too. Obviously, some years later the German army proved to be much better than the British. Admit it, mastercheff, the only decent British victory in the First World War was Mons. The rest ... French, hahaha!
@Truenco Maybe so by military numbers and quality of weaponry, Prussian artillery out done any in Europe, but in military training is debatable.
I also like Gibraltar as a victory for the British, 75000 British soldiers 50 ships with about 300 guns try to take Gibraltar of the British army of 5000 and fail, or Agincourt, 30.000 French soldiers destroyed by 6.000 English soldiers of which 4 out of 6 were archers LOL!
Agincourt is a historical fraud. The size of the armies was about 12,000 French and 9,000 English, and at the siege of gibraltar the British have strategic and tactical advantage (a strong defensive position and sea dominance), and also there weren't 75,000 franco-spanish at the same time.
@Truenco Oh please, if you can't handle the facts, then leave the video I mean you have a look on any source it tells you that the French army was 6 times more larger than the English army.
@Truenco And again a number to about 7.000 to 10.000 French have said to have been killed, and 1.500 taken prisoner, the vast majority of historians claim this around about number.
@Truenco , Juliet Barker, Jehan de Waurin, Clifford J. Rogers, Jean Le Fevre, ect all successful historians explain the French outnumbering the English in the 30.000 region, the mere minority claim the French army being 12.000.
Juliet Barker casualties are based on the number of the Gesta Henrici's (note that the name suggests that it's an impartial account... which also claims the English outnumbered 30-1 xp), Jehan de Waurin was a French who deserted to the Burgundians (very impartial also), and Jean LeFevre was also a Burgundian.
@Truenco Sorry mate but the most commonly agreed army size for the French at Agincourt was in the region of 25 to 36 thousand, and the English army very well known as in the region of 6 thousand of which 5 thousand 1 hundred were archers and the rest men at arms.
In 1870 was the only time when all of the German speaking states were united under a single banner to form an empire in central Europe and become strong for once after hundreds of years of being divided and leaderless. But for a long time, France has defeated and incorporated conquered German territory into their own country in many wars. The only time when Germany annexed anything from France was the Alsace-Lorraine provence and only held it for 48 years, France held onto theirs for centuries.
@expertstrategy Without the help of the British like Master said, France would have been lost in ww1, true French has had it's time as the Ligua franca, but now it's English, and it's bigger than any other on earth and in history.
True, France did very poorly in the Franco Prussian war. Finally after hundreds of years, all of German was consolidated into a single nation, and France fell in 1940, but France had far more success against Germany and won more wars.
The British blockade starved the Germans dropping their morale causing riots starvation, of course it effects the war in the Trenches you fool, how can you fight on an empty stomach, any way I made this video to respect German military history not degrade it.
1066: Conquest of England 'It largely removed the native ruling class, replacing it with a foreign, French-speaking monarchy, aristocracy, and clerical hierarchy. This, in turn, brought about a transformation of the English language and the culture of England.' Enough said...
@LeBonaparte Well at least you didn't say French, because they were Normans, but sorry, does it take the Vikings, Dutch, Flemish, Normans, and the French to narrowly defeat the English, how up setting to France considering after then it's overpowering English victories up until 1815, the last Anglo-Franco conflict.
In 911, the fiefdom of Normandy entered vassalage to the king of the West Franks Charles the Simple through the Treaty of Saint Clair-sur-Epte.(In exchange for his homage and fealty) The descendants of Rollo and his followers adopted the local Gallo-Romantic language and intermarried with the areas original inhabitants and assimilated to France...(and I'm from Normandie !!)
The fact is France won more wars (not simple battles but WARS) influenced the Englsih language and culture and replaced the nativing ruling class..."During the century and a half after the Conquest, there is no English history. The French Kings of England rose to an eminence which was the wonder of all nations".
- Austrian Succession War (1740-1748) French recognised the British throne and expelled the Jacobites from France. France withdrew from the Netherlands in order to have some of its colonies returned
England has never been able to defeat France alone and always had to look for help or flee "Give me the night or give me Blucher" Wellington crying at Waterloo...
Haha I told you how France ruled and educated England. We taught French to England, won more battle and even your mottos and symbols are French (Dieu Et Mon Droit Honi Soit Qui mal Y Pense) Your desperate attempt at listing batlles is useless...
@LeBonaparte You......? the Normans my friend the Normans, the Norman was a mixture of the Scandinavian language and French anyway, 50 years after Norman rule the English language and culture eclipsed Norman culture and language and destroyed it forever, English is the fastest growing and largest spoken language on earth.
@mastercheff1216, you know even if Henry VI did become both king of France and England, these two countries would be ruled by a Platagenet (French king) there was never an Englishman who ruled both countries simultaenously.
The PLANTAGENET dynastie ruled England for 350 years, were from France, spoke French...so Paris was never English. Anyway Paris (a city) 20years vs England (a country...) 350 years...you can't compete with that hahaha. Between 33 to 40% of the English vocabulary is French
@LeBonaparte Considering that the French never actually conquered England only ruled it by placing a French king in power, the Angevin empire was nothing but A mere king holding the two countries together.
The English actually conquered much of France placed an English king on the throne colonised occupied areas, that's why many French people today have English surnames, but please by all means let me and mastercheff keep you at bay.
Prior to the mid 20th century, French served as the pre-eminent language of diplomacy among European and colonial powers as well as a lingua franca among the educated classes of Europe and Russia. If it weren't for the USA (who gained their independance with the help of France) and their influence english wouldn't have this place today (also because it is an easy language)
@LeBonaparte the English language would have still been far more wide spread and popular than French, considering the French being evicted by the British in Canada Carribean Islands India, ect ect.
haha thanks for the good laugh 'that's why many French people today have English surnames'(???) You probably meant that's why England's motos are French as well as nearly half of its vocabulary?Yeah right the Norman (a fief of the Kingdom of France, check a history book if you want to read it by yourself) were not French that's why England spoke... Norman? No England spoke French.
@LeBonaparte Normandy was a separate kingdom from France, different people, they were Viking settlers, DEAL WITH IT, France can never conquer England stop using other countries victories as France's, just because they spoke similar to French means nothing, it's you blood that counts.
You may not like it but France civilzed you, ruled you and influenced your language (last time I checked French had no English roots) Scotts were even considered as French citizens until 1903. France is an old and rich country that existed long before England and before 1066 your country was nothing but a succesion of invasions (by Scandinavians et)
@LeBonaparte Last time I checked there was only a DANISH CONQUEST and a NORMAN CONQUEST, if Normans were French it would be French conquest, deal with it.
"The small groups of Vikings that settled there adopted the language, religion and culture of the French majority. The Normans were indistinguishable from the French".
Encyclopaedia Britannica
Normandie was a fief of the French kingdom, I'm from Normandie and I'm... French. Whatever you want to call it you were conquered and obliged to integrate French culture (and law etc) France never had to, deal with it.
@LeBonaparte Blah blah blah, Normans were the cousins of Vikings, even the name Normandy is a Scandinavian word for Norse, the was no French conquest, only influence in Language brought on by a different group of people, whilst there has been a English conquest of France, Paris English for 20 years, 75% of the hundred years war was English victories anyway, Considering Breton succession, Edwardian, lancastrian, and the two peters wars as English victories,
I doubt English would have the same place today without America considering there are 305 million inhabitants in the USA and Canada 34m. (and France helped the USA win against your country...) People learn Englsih today because they have to, French because they want to...Your friend even made a video about Prussian victories because he couldn't do one about his own country. What a shame
@LeBonaparte, he has gave you a large list of arse whooping the English have gave you in history, or are you to embarrassed to look at the list and learn some history?
@LeBonaparte Excuses me, you forget the 22 million in Australia, 2 million in New Zealand, 90 million in India, 60-70 million in Africa, that speak English thank you very much, good bye.
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 that's the list of arse whooping the French have given (you wrote 'gave' you don't even master your own language?) you in history. Now there's nothing more to say
And learn to make the difference between a BATTLE and a WAR since you can win a battle but not the war...At least my 'shit' have sources, you don't give any...Now all you have left is BNP. Good luck with your economy (which is by the way not as good as the French one (UK: 6th and France : 5th )
And what you call shit are BBC History and Encyclopaedia Britannica but I I can see why you consider them as shitty since ther are British and I have to agree with you on that one...Since you seem to know more about History than Historians and history books (maybe you were there?) I cannot but leave you in your ignorance and stubborness...
@LeBonaparte Ignorance now that is hilarious, considering you posting up false contents about French military history, you are hardly the one to talk, France has no where near the greatest military history, 30.000 soldiers destroyed by 4.000 English archers so quiet down please.
Excuse me but India, Australia and other countries put together would be nothing compared to the number the USA and Canada represent (340 million) Without them it wouldn't be the same. (and English is not considered as a language for culture except if you consider Hamburger and hollywood as culture)You can't admit the facts I gave you... Well go back to your English books written with 40% of french words, good bye
@LeBonaparte Excuse me but Canada would speak English predominantly any way, so I don't know why you are saying that.
FACTS?
You haven't given a single fact that you can prove, the BBC history France participation in wars post doesn't even come up on bbc history, whilst Mastercheff as actually given a list of wars won by England with detail instead of just writing down that nonsense.
@LeBonaparte India has a population of 1 billion odd, and I just the number of English speakers as a first language, second language would be at least 900 million that can speak English to a communicational level.
'yawn blah blah blah' (i'm using the same sharp and accurate arguments as you) France never conquered England, you never spoke French (and don't have French mottos or vocabulary) and never had a French ruling class. You also never lost a single war against France and, in fact, Independance day never happened either. Oh and I forgot you also are the 1st economy today, have an excellent healthcare system and weather and Hitler never existed...You're so right
And you don't need to post from another account (tracking an ip is so easy) to side with Mastercheff (chef I wonder where that word comes from by the way. but I'm sure it's not old French since France never existed or invaded England-if the Normans are not French where should I put Wales, Ireland and Scottland - cough)
Moreover, this music is not good. This was for a film about the French victory over the British at Fort William-Henry. Why not Preussens Gloria or hohenfriedberger march? Even in music, I found better than you!
French army and British army were in Belgium , after the invasion in the Ardennes , Allies were surrounded by Germans and one solution was possible for Britishs / evacuation of Dunkirk to protect UK and save the professionnal army engaged in France to avoid the capture .
French don' t hesitate to sacrifice the army of north for protect the evacuation with the scots units , there is a monument in this honor at Dunkerque .
according to BBC history, the French has the best military record.

It's a different situation, the king of France didn't invade Champagne or Bretagne or any other regions in fear of growing power, he did with Normandy thus ending his fief with henry Ist of France, don't try and pull that bullshit over my eyes son, you wont succeed.
mastercheff1216 1 year ago
Like others nobles who were more powerful than king like Duke of Champagne and others the duke of Normandy was Vassal of France's king wich create a bond with the rest of France. All vassals of a king belongs to the same kingdom. Thus Normandy belongs to kingdom of France. Their culture was almost the same comparing with the orthers duchies, the language, the christianism, and as we could see in Hastings the way of fight. Normans fought this battle using heavy cavalary in a Frankish style.

Like i said the fief ended after henry I failed to invade Normandy, thus ending Williams fief, and increasing his ambitions abroad, even William was a direct descendant of Rollo the Viking leader, Norman invasion= just a second Danish conquest. the language was massively influenced by Scandinavian, the Norman language is more similar to English than it is French, as English also as Norman has Large amounts of Germanic words.
mastercheff1216 1 year ago
@mastercheff1216
So Normans were a realy strange kind of Vikings because Hastings battle consequence was put Britain out of Scandinavian sphere of influence and linked it mnore to European mainland. Stange that about their language being more similar to english than french because thanks this invasion 1/3 of English's vocabulary comes from French. Whithout this English language would be very close to Dutch or German like Portuguese and Spanish.

It's more similar to the Germanic languages anyway, so I don't know why you even BOTHERED started on the Language of England, Norman words are different from French have you even been to Normandy Norman- Canne Norse- Kanna French Cruche

After Norman conquest England was ruled by Plantagenet wich was a French noble house originary from Anjou region. This house was founded by Geoffrey who was a French noble, the count of Tourainne and Anjou. He became Duke of Normandy by conquest. Thus French was the court language in England for several centuries. English mottos like "Dieu et mon droi" and "La reine le veut" also.

@pledoux Bretons were an independent province during the Norman conquest as of Normandy and the Flemish, only a few Cavalry men from France fought in the battle, most of the cavalry were Norman, only the Normans were to be placed as Barons and counts, their language wasn't even French as it borrowed massively from Scandinavian as you will see in the province today, that the Norman language is still quite distinct. sorry to burst your bubble.

Normandy absorved the culture of French mainland, the language, the christianism, the names. And way of fight also.

The second German empire was a force to be reckoned with, their domination of Europe lasted for at least 75 years from 1870-1945.

Their economy was rebuilt twice very quickly, with the rise of Hitler, and the "Economic miracle" in the 1950s shortly after the second world war.

I doubt English would have the same place today without America considering there are 305 million inhabitants in the USA and Canada 34m. (and France helped the USA win against your country...) People learn Englsih today because they have to, French because they want to...Your friend even made a video about Prussian victories because he couldn't do one about his own country. What a shame

@LeBonaparte, he has gave you a large list of arse whooping the English have gave you in history, or are you to embarrassed to look at the list and learn some history?
Hardlythecase2134 2 years ago
@LeBonaparte Excuses me, you forget the 22 million in Australia, 2 million in New Zealand, 90 million in India, 60-70 million in Africa, that speak English thank you very much, good bye.

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 that's the list of arse whooping the French have given (you wrote 'gave' you don't even master your own language?) you in history. Now there's nothing more to say

@LeBonaparte
The same old shit, as you can clearly see that the wars listed count as more than enough defeats for France by England/Britain alone LOL!
You keeps sending weak easily correctable answers and I'll set you straight, just as usual for most frenchies i set straight on here.

And learn to make the difference between a BATTLE and a WAR since you can win a battle but not the war...At least my 'shit' have sources, you don't give any...Now all you have left is BNP. Good luck with your economy (which is by the way not as good as the French one (UK: 6th and France : 5th )

@LeBonaparte Sorry but who has all the results of wars and who won most?
England as you can clearly see, in case you didn't know, WARS beat BATTLES.

@Hardlythecase2134
And what you call shit are BBC History and Encyclopaedia Britannica but I I can see why you consider them as shitty since ther are British and I have to agree with you on that one...Since you seem to know more about History than Historians and history books (maybe you were there?) I cannot but leave you in your ignorance and stubborness...

@LeBonaparte Ignorance now that is hilarious, considering you posting up false contents about French military history, you are hardly the one to talk, France has no where near the greatest military history, 30.000 soldiers destroyed by 4.000 English archers so quiet down please.

Excuse me but India, Australia and other countries put together would be nothing compared to the number the USA and Canada represent (340 million) Without them it wouldn't be the same. (and English is not considered as a language for culture except if you consider Hamburger and hollywood as culture)You can't admit the facts I gave you... Well go back to your English books written with 40% of french words, good bye
LeBonaparte 2 years ago
@LeBonaparte Excuse me but Canada would speak English predominantly any way, so I don't know why you are saying that.
FACTS?
You haven't given a single fact that you can prove, the BBC history France participation in wars post doesn't even come up on bbc history, whilst Mastercheff as actually given a list of wars won by England with detail instead of just writing down that nonsense.
Hardlythecase2134 2 years ago
@LeBonaparte India has a population of 1 billion odd, and I just the number of English speakers as a first language, second language would be at least 900 million that can speak English to a communicational level.

'yawn blah blah blah' (i'm using the same sharp and accurate arguments as you) France never conquered England, you never spoke French (and don't have French mottos or vocabulary) and never had a French ruling class. You also never lost a single war against France and, in fact, Independance day never happened either. Oh and I forgot you also are the 1st economy today, have an excellent healthcare system and weather and Hitler never existed...You're so right

And you don't need to post from another account (tracking an ip is so easy) to side with Mastercheff (chef I wonder where that word comes from by the way. but I'm sure it's not old French since France never existed or invaded England-if the Normans are not French where should I put Wales, Ireland and Scottland - cough)

WW1 / France and UK did the big part of work , 1,400 000 dead soldiers for France , 975 000 for UK and commonwealth .
Victory Allies on the superpower industrial of germany and his strong demography .
An Alliance like in the past the ennemies of Louis 14 , Carlos Quintos and Napoleon use this strategy .
Same for WW2 .

Moreover, this music is not good. This was for a film about the French victory over the British at Fort William-Henry. Why not Preussens Gloria or hohenfriedberger march? Even in music, I found better than you!

Stupid video. Do you forget that we beat the Prussians:
- War of the First Coalition.
- War of the Fourth Coalition. The French marched on Berlin and occupied Germany for 7 years.
You were only saved by the Russians.
- We lost 1870 war but won WW1 (occupied Ruhr for years) and WW2 and occupied Germany for 50 years more.

You obviously showed your might and strength when Hitler moved his troops into the Rhineland, what did the French do then?
back down I believe. You won world war 1?
the allies won, you would of lost if it weren't for the rest of the allies, no doubt.
mastercheff1216 2 years ago
French army and British army were in Belgium , after the invasion in the Ardennes , Allies were surrounded by Germans and one solution was possible for Britishs / evacuation of Dunkirk to protect UK and save the professionnal army engaged in France to avoid the capture .
French don' t hesitate to sacrifice the army of north for protect the evacuation with the scots units , there is a monument in this honor at Dunkerque .
