since the year 387 BC, France has fought in 168 of them, won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10; this makes France the most successful military power in European history in terms of number of fought and won
France could have won a thousand wars, but they will forever be remembered as the nation that got blitzkrieged in a month and a half because it happened only 84 years ago
I mean every other nation in Europe did too at the time. Only geography saved Britain. Germany rolled over everything in it’s path in the early part of the war.
The French made one massive strategic error, fought hard after realising it and were instrumental in holding off the Germans while the British bailed back to the mainland to fight another day.
I’m tired of the implied reduction of combat capability of the modern French military that comes with a single strategic balls up 80 odd years ago.
Yes, please don’t wave a white flag and surrender.
Surely you’re not referring to the most successful European military in the last 2000 years?
