Memepublic.

Only the first Republic was pure.

>ignoring pretty much all of WW1

Brah.

Lower birth rate meaning they had less young men.

Napoléon ceased to rule. Blame the British.

>muh cult du la offensive

There is nothing redeemable their mate except for Britian literally siding with them because they knew france would get BTFO without their help. France was literally saved because it was so pathetic.

French Republicanism is a the destroyer of France don't doubt it for a second.

>France was literally saved because it was so pathetic.

France held the Western Front for two years with barely any British help.

this would be impressive if the western front wasn't already in france

>a country successfully defending itself alone against another twice its size with the best army in the world is not impressive, despite literal millions of deaths

The leadership. The German armies were stabbed in the back by their people ? We were shot in the foot by our generals.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Sedan

Literally freemasons traitors in our armies

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917_French_Army_mutinies
Nothing wrong here

They were literally sent to be killed like under german gatlings

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algerian_War


We won the war, it's jsut Cuckgaulle the commie who gave the shitskins their independance

>Cameroonian Independence War
A meme

Isn't it nice to ignore the FUCKING LARGEST CONFLICT IN HUMAN HISTORY VOL. 2?

(Same user) AND NO, NORTH AFRICA DOESNT COUNT, BECAUSE IT WAS FUCKING CARRIED BY THE BRITISH AND LATER THE AMERICANS. DON'T EVEN PERSONALLY HATE FRANCE.

literally been posted several times in the thread
>DON'T EVEN PERSONALLY HATE FRANCE.
Sure, your blind tard rage comes from nowhere.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Sedan
A result of having a completely unprepared army, having inferior artillery also had something to do with it.
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Paris_(1870–71)
Similar reasons, but not all that humilitating considering that they continued fighting for months despite the capitulation of their emperor
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1917_French_Army_mutinies
Not sure why this is listed, most were prepared to continue fighting but refused to kill themselves
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_France
A humiliating and decisive defeat resulting from many factors, most notably poor leadership, doctrine and poltical turmoil
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria–Lebanon_Campaign
Heavily demoralised and undersupplied army and they were probably mostly colonials anyway
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Thai_War
Most weren't French and they were outnumbered anyway, at least it wasn't as bad as Singapore
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_coup_d'état_in_French_Indochina
Same as before
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Dien_Bien_Phu
Demoralised forces who weren't even French, the war was very unfavourable back at home and the soldiers were regarded as criminals. They were mostly colonial troops from Morocco, Algeria and Indochina. The Legion at that time also consisted of mostly ex-Nazis
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algerian_War
Tacitical victory, but very much a political defeat - so this has nothing to do with the military
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameroonian_Independence_War
Literally never heard of this before

The schleiffen plan was literally stopped from taking paris by the british.

The british literally only joined the war because the balance of power meme dictated they had to save France.

France would have lost the war witout hte british.

>France traditionally had the largest population in Europe.
>In fact it was the third most populous region on Earth for most of its post-Roman history, only surpassed by China and India.
>For some reason is the only nation in Europe to not experience a population explosion during the Industrial Revolution.
>This relative decline in population allowed other nations to catch up to it in terms of output and power, causing French influence to wane.
If they had a comparable population boom to the rest of Europe, there'd be roughly as many people in France today as there are in the US. It's one of the greater mysteries of demography but also a major explanation for why they declined in relevance.

>Less troops than Germany
>Suffer more casualties than Germany

This

The only reason Britain even bothered to make an alliance with France is because they KNEW that the French had no conditions whatsoever to hold back Germany on their own, and the Brits would rather have the French as competition than the Germans. The frogs could be easily controlled and manipulated, but the krauts would be a serious threat to the eternal anglo's plans of world domination if they managed to get hegemony.

lmao it's literally the other way around. The British joined so they would have a say in redrawing Europe after French victory, and prevent France from dismantling Germany. Because even after fucking WW1, the British were still more scared of France than of Germany, and so wanted to keep Germany around as a counterweight against France.

this desu.
That's why they were the mostly vocal opposition to French plans regarding the treaty of Versailles

>"The schleiffen plan was literally stopped from taking paris by the british."
>50,000 Brits mattered more than a million and a half French soldiers
Oh user.

>Brits whine on /pol/ because non-whites (who made up for 25% of their army in the war, pic related) are getting representation in WW1 media
>But somehow, it's normal to them to imply that the BEF (which made up for 6.72% of allied troops at the First Marne) was decisive n shieeeeet in that battle

And then they wonder why everyone on Veeky Forums insults them
I'm Indian and it's that kind of shit that makes me despise them

Mobilized could literally mean anything from Infantryman to Doctor. It doesn't imply frontline combat. Secondly, the Indian army was entirely volunteer based. Britain didn't conscript them at all. thirdly, Brits were less than 2/10 of the empire but 8/10 of the casualties.

>120,000 BEF troops who inflicted ~100,000 casualties mattered more than the millions of French troops who inflicted ~750,000 casualties

user, I...
