Tell me about the 7 year war /his/. Why was France on the losing end of another war?
>>948850
Outnumbered like 50 to 1 in North America
Facing Frederick the Great in Europe
*Funny note: Austria was ruled by an Empress at the time and so was Russia, France was partly ruled by a women too so Frederick called their alliance against him 'The league of the three petticoats'
>>948850
>Facing Frederick the Great in Europe
They were winning.
It was Russia shifting sides that won the war.
>>948868
Italy*
>>948868
Let's be honest that was a logistical matter, any other small state like that would have gotten defeated in one or two battles unlike Frederick who managed to juggle around three enemy armies for a while.
>>948850
The Eternal Anglo attacked them in North America and India distracting them from Europe and Russia had a Prussoboo Czar in the middle of the war
This left the Hasb*urg alone to fight the Prussians and fail
>>948850
Based Maurice de S<xe had whitewashed just how shit tier the french army had become since the glory days of Louis XIV

>Here is your official /his/ meme answer
>>948875
I love Fritz as much as the next guy, but Prussia was about to get overrun if not for Russia
>>948893
I think thats what he wanted to say. It was a miracle that prussia hold out for so long, but in the end it was (even with silesia) just a middle large nation and not in the same league with the Big 4
How does France even still exist considering it never won a war?
>>948912
Not only that, but it's the largest country in Western Europe. Why does everyone keep giving them land despite beating them all the time?
>>948893
this. no wonder its called the "Russian Miracle"
Austria and France underestimated Prussian military proves, UK dominated the colonial warfare and Russia was just sperging around with its massive army and eventually just withdrew allowing Prussia to seize the initiative again
>>948864
>Outnumbered like 50 to 1 in North America
Nice exaggeration, it was like 4 to 1
Still impressive they managed to hold a decade
>>949276
Sorry I should Clarify I meant population.
Something in the region of 40.000 Frenchies lived in Canada as opposed to 1-1.5 million in the British colonies. Frenchies were only able to make up for this by the help of native allies and 'gorilla warfare'
It got boring winning every war, so France let this one pass, especially when it meant the humiliation of its strongest continental rival
>>948864
>Facing Frederick the Great in Europe
>implying it's any problem
He cried like a bitch and got depressed. He had everything handed to him all his life. He had inferiority complex towards POLES, fucking Polacks lol.
Why are german leaders such unstable trash? The only one worth mentioning is Bismarck.

Go to bed, Maria Theresa, its too late for shitposting
>>950572
But he really was utter trash.
If Russia wasn't so kind to buttfuck Poland, Prussia would be eaten.
>fucking meming shits at uni say "LUL FRANCE LOST THE NAPOLEONIC WARS THEY CAN'T WIN SHIT XD"
