Why does everyone shit on the most powerful military power in Europe? They've been the most powerful for 1000s of years too, then they get zerg rushed once and they're suddenly laughing stock of Europe.
The British Isles have been raped by every invader that set their sights on the shitty island. The English are the most uppity when it comes to France too. Jealous much?

/his/fag pls
if they ever were big, that was long ago

France would absolutely destroy any European country in a conventional war today.
>>62048325
braise based Napoleon :DDDD
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Somosierra
>According to many memoirs of veterans of the battle, Kozietulski led his men in a charge with the official cry "Vive l'Empereur!"
>However, popular legend has it that the true battle cry was the Polish "Naprzód psiekrwie, Cesarz patrzy!" - "Forward, you sons of dogs, the Emperor is watching!"
>>62048325
Only as good as your last fight.
Unfortunately putting down rebellions in Africa isn't noticeable.
>>62048325
brown france > wh*te france
>>62048953
Yeah...those argies sure do put up a fight.
>>62048325
honestly all those fags mocking france while literally noone could've took a blitzkrieg and survived
France was the first to be hit by it (on a large scale atleast) plus they were flanked from the belgian border
if that didn't happen and if france didn't fuck up their tactics in the battle (they could've won easily if not for a misplaced division i remember) world war 2 would've ended far earlier
>>62048325
Truly our greatest ally.
>>62048868
because the other countries are worse. Germany is downright neutered and Britain was barely able to beat Argentina
whole Western Europe is in decline, haven't you heard?
>>62049135
I gotchu, mon amie
>>62049318
Which is why France didn't deserve all the shit they get.
>>62049599
Doesn't*
>>62048325
Anglos rewrite history to suit their needs
also:
>Charlemagne
>French
>>62049736
You're right. He was a Frank.
>>62048979
Syrian and Kurdish Turkey > Turkish Turkey
>>62048325
>Trafalgar
>1871
>1940
>Dien Bien Phu
A little too many iconic defeats to shitpost about muh greatest military eva, sorry
>>62048325
Because they like memes.
Oh, and we are invaded by Mudslims xD xDD
>>62048868
There is no such thing as "conventional" war. Or war in Europe, for that matter.
>>62050204
Napoleon slapped his hairy dick across the face of your coalition. Multiple times.
The Italians even gave you trouble.
>>62048953
We'd crush you, Nigel.
>>62048325
Karel de Grote was Dutch, not French

Britain literally just sent a taskforce to the Falklands when the argies invaded.
>>62051729
And a third world country still sank six of her Majesty's royal ships.
>>62049063
>France was the first to be hit by it (on a large scale atleast)
>>62051729
A Taskforce is like, for example, a division for an army, right?
I mean, you didnt sent your whole RN, correct?
I
>>62049063
>If
>>62051723
No such thing
He was a Frank

>amie
amie is femenine and ami is masculine.
>>62051723
If you mean germanic peoples, there are some in France so what is your point, Leaf ?
>>62051239
Which is irrelevant since I don't boast about muh military constantly
>>62051912
>>62052126
Carolus Magnus was a Roman, not a Frank.

Of course not, you're Austrian. Austrians don't like to talk about their history because they're literally the only country in history that went from being half a continent to being literally as relevant as Luxembourg. Nah, I'm being unfair here... Luxembourg has the ECJ.
>>62048325
>The British Isles have been raped by every invader that set their sights on the shitty island
As in the Normans, almost 1000 years ago...
How many times has France been raped since then friend?
>>62048922
Poor fools, deluded by kikes and masonery.
>>62049063
>France was the first to be hit by it
>>62048922
kek
Based Polan'
>>62048868
>He thinks burgers wouldn't shoulder the burden of any military conflict involving European nations
Retard.
>>62050204
Tell me...WHY WAS YOUR BEST MILITARY LEADER FRENCH, DAMNIT ?
>>62053092
>How many times has France been raped since then friend?
Hum...3 times ?
>>62053362
Spain raped you pretty good until Rocroi
7 years war against Britain and Prussia
Nappy got rekt (sadly)
1870, 1940
>>62053545
He meant literal rape, not lost wars.
British Isles were fucking literally raped.
>>62053545
If we're just talking about defeats vs victories, then France literally has the best record of all Europeans. I'm quoting Niall Ferguson on this, a British historian so biased -against- France that he claimed Britain joining WW1 was the biggest mistake it had ever made, and that a German led proto-EU could've been achieved if the French were just willing to abandon their undeserved ambitions for glory.
>>62053009
Another ad hominem, congrats
>Austrians don't like to talk about their history
Of course we do (that is people who are somewhat interested in history)
Besides, the Netherlands has also lost quite some of its "relevancy" (favorite term of muh clay autists here), hasn't it?

>The only time Austria wasn't shit was when it was ruled by a Dutchman
Literally cannot make this shit up.
>>62048325
Blame Anglo propaganda and de Gaulle not bowing down to America after the war
>>62051862
>>62053171
lol
i said on a large scale at least cut me a slack
plus its not like the Poles carried knowledge of the tactic to the french so they can prepare for it
>>62053872
>Dutchman
You might as well say he was Belgian
>>62053092
As in the Romans, the Angles, the Saxons, the Danes, the Normans, and the Pakis.
>>62051723
>A frank was a Dutch
Canadian education

Don't forget the Jutes.

>Spain raped you pretty good until Rocroi
meh
>7 years war against Britain and Prussia
Statu quo in Europe, don't care (feels bad for New France, tho)
>1815, 1870 and 1940
ok, I agree
>>62048325
Modern french are beta fags and I cuck them out of their women daily
>>62056613

>>62056613
