The French were no match to the Germans. Had it not been for the US, France would be part of Germany right now. Then again France is already occupied by middle easterns.
And that would be a bad thing? I bet they wouldn't have a problem with Muslims... Historical fact: The French are the winningest nation in history.
That's true, the French were no match to the Germans in 1939 for fair reasons. The politicians and generals had experienced the devastation of WW I and couldn't fathom another war, the French population was divided over stopping Hitler in part because the most vociferous anti nazis were the communists and the French worried about their influence, and because the French simply didn't prepare by spending their resources on armament like the nazis were doing. But it's also worth mentioning that the US didn't get in the war until 1942, long after Hitler had invaded most of Europe because many in the US government debated supporting communist Russia or nazi Hitler. Also, Americans didn't want to fight a foreign war until Pearl Harbor woke them up. US manufacturing powerhouse built the most formidable armament the world had ever seen which thankfully overwhelmed the nazi army. But make no mistake, America alone would not have defeated the nazis; it took many nations to finally beat the fokkers.
Were it not for the French, the USA would have lost the Revolutionary war. (I don't care for the French either way, but facts are facts.)
Offtopic but I said in history. Go ahead look it up. Americans should be thanking the French for: 1. Fries. 2. Lousiana purchase. 3. Lady Liberty. etc.etc.
The US saved France from hitler? How about the UK, or even Russia? France is occupied by middle easterns as much as America has been occupied by Anglo-Saxons for the last 500 years but without the carneficine and genocide that those caused on natives.
I think that reference also has to do with the War Reparations laid onto the Germans. The French were really hot on that, thought it was a great idea. Treaty of Versailles. It was never even ratified in the U.S. Senate. Within a few decades, that would turn out to be the biggest exploding cigar ever conceived by mankind. So the French take a lot of heat, from anybody who studies the record.
