Centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire, French kings struggled for control against the church and the aristocracy. Chaos and bloody warfare rampaged and France stood on the edge of utter disaster as the French Revolution turned into a period of brutal repression. From the ashes emerged one of the greatest military strategists in history, Napoleon. Throughout his reign, France built brilliantly innovative, widely influential masterpieces that have given the world some of its greatest feats of engineering. They include: The massive and majestic Notre Dame de Paris, the Canal du Midi, The Eiffel Tower, and The Arc de Triomphe, an enduring monument to the glory of France under Napoleon.

  • Beautiful

  • @expertstrategy

    probably meant spoiled,softened,and used to having everything handed to you versus being left in the wild and having to hunt to survive and eventually become skilled "hunters" like china is right now after all their hardship

  • Robocop is telling me about the history of France? Neat! :D

  • France-----Destined to endless defeat

  • I'd imagine that Druidism is less pagan than Roman religion. Druidism at least has some spirituality and philosophy in it, while Roman religion was mostly show and mythology.

  • @NorseHeathengirl2345 ID TAP THAT POWAH XD
