Franks are huge one family at the end of the day, that were amputated from one another in the treaty of Verdun.

Though out of the three nations that the treaty of Verdun would bestow on the world, East Francia, Lothringen, and West Francia, West Francia (modern-day France) has proven most apt at perpetuating the legacy of the Frankish empire. So this grants us legitimacy to invade you and germans, to reunite the Frankish empire as one once again.

So we are the true Franks. Out of my way Frisian shit.

Entirely french mother

And his father had had ancestors that had reign in Normandy for decades, for which there are records to attest to the fact that they took up Anjou, Breton noblewomen as brides and even from the parisian court. So even his father must've been around 50% french.

Pas tellement que ça mais je prendrai tous les noirs de Guadeloupe contre ceux qu'on nous afflige actuellement, qui viennent tous droit d'Afrique. Les guadeloupéens peuvent vraiement être français parfois. C'est l'un des départements avec les noms les plus français qu'il soit. Au moins eux ne nomment pas leurs enfants "Kevin" ou "Matteo". Donc parfois même mieux que des français blancs.

Aussi ils restent peu nombreux donc ça c'est mieux et se confinent à leur île.

We bullied you out of your North American possessions, literally banned you from owning territories in India, fucked up your fleet several times and provided a lone resistance (expect from BASED Portugal) against Napoleonic Europe which was liberated by the efforts of the Eternal Anglo in 1815.

Won litterally due to how inept the newly recruited french fleet was. Although some have conjectured that his victories stemmed from his revolutionary tactics, there's then been actual historians that have certified that it was unnecessary risk and that he was actually charging the french fleet while being in their sights for hours. Any decent navy would've shredded them, but the french never have been a naval people, so they fucked up too and didn't manage to bombard the british fleet in spite of all the opportunities they had.
