france has always had the size advanatge

even in ww2, their army was far better than germany's

they're just incompetant

they distract you from this by crying about le hans and nigel

>be France
>have warrior king culture
>you keep on going to war with all your neighbours at once
>this bankrupts the country multiple times
>it takes until the 19th century for the bourgeoise and aristocracy to overthrow you

>>you keep on going to war with all your neighbours at once
Uhmm how about stop lying.France literally started coallitions while haing 4 times the population of their rival! It is just pathetic lmao

why do you /pol/ anglo's have such need to confirm yourselves as somehow superior.

I do not know which wars you are reffering to but:
>the hundred years war was half of france against the other half of france so the population thing does not hold up + it was won by France

>the seven years war and the war of the spanish succesion where mostly maritime so it's pretty obvious that the very maritime invested country (literally an island) wins

>american revolution -> victory for France (although they did bankrupt themselves)

> napoleon was defeated by a coalition of nations, not just britain

>Ignoring the entire XVI and XVII century
Why are you so insecure Pierre Delafrog?

>the seven years war and the war of the spanish succesion where mostly maritime so it's pretty obvious that the very maritime invested country (literally an island) wins

Literally

>They won because of reasons why they won

so what wars are you talking about?

> napoleon was defeated by a coalition of nations, not just britain
Really? napoleon subjugated everyone of his opponents except Britain and Russia.

Napoleon was defeated by Russia on land and Britain on sea. He overstretched his empire and it turned on him.

OP was pretty much going in the direction of "all French people are retarded, anglo's are a superior master race" which is the kind of retarded shitposting that this board really doesn't need more of

that's why i gave a geographical reason

>What is the battle of Waterloo

dude i'm on your side


but napoleon was never gonna win even if he won at waterloo

OP's post doesn't even mention anglos or race.

Why are french apologists so obsessed with race?

>so what wars are you talking about?
Plenty of wars in which France a country with 1/2 of the population of western Europe needed a coallition to lose

Inferiority complex.France is underachiever so frogs start to damage control as soon as someone exposes them

>napoleon subjugated everyone of his opponents except Britain and Russia
And any time some seams started to show the Prussians and Austrians joined in on the rape train

>Napoleon was defeated by Russia on land and Britain on sea. He overstretched his empire and it turned on him.

thought i was on /pol/ for a second there, not french btw

just a question with not so much importance was this board good at least one week ?

yeah never said he would win, but he wasn't beaten by the english alone

the original post is pretty much /pol/ tier shitposting, it's not really subtle

Go to sleep Lindy

How can we stop these posts?

France won most of its wars in the sixteenth and seventeenth century

>France won most of its wars in the sixteenth and seventeenth century
Wrong

>no example again
your /pol/ is showing

It's literally accurate

mad about the truth, pierre?

your country has been a battleground for other countries for 100 years now

>Have 4 times the population of your biggest neighbour
???

France was the dominant military in europe from like 843 to 1871 and currently still holds the largest land army in Europe

>Lost all the wars prior to the 30 years war
>Win 2 after the 30 years war
Are frogfags this deluded irl?

>France was the dominant military in europe from like 843 to 1871 and currently still holds the largest land army in Europe

Germany surpassed France's population in the 19th century

>win 3 of the seven Italian wars
>win the 30 years war
>win Franco-Spanish war
>win 3 of the 4 wars of Louis xiv
That's a majority

It's true Nigel

>from like 843 to 1871

I mean, they needed Turkish, Italian and English help to beat Russia.

>and currently still holds the largest land army in Europe

>French Active personnel: 111,000
>Russian Active personnel: 771,000

The reason you still keep such a large army anyways is because your people have the largest insecurity complex in Europe.

Makes sense when the last time you were in a war there, you lost faster than poland, then had half your army join the German army, then had your women queue up to suck German cock.


So, instead of looking to modern France, you go back 2000 years for your old days where you had an influence.

>>win 3 of the seven Italian wars
Kek.Nope
>>win the 30 years war
Yeah.After joining a huge coallition
>>win Franco-Spanish war
Yes
>>win 3 of the 4 wars of Louis xiv
Nope.All of them except 1 were stalements.
No need to lie on a history forum Pierre.You are making yourself look like a butthurt retard

How is the French army bigger than the Russian army?

Irrelevant, as France had the larger army at during the battle of France in ww2 and higher production.

>nope
Yep
>all of them were stalemates
What's it like being retarded?
>Russia
>europe

>>nope
>Yep
France won the league of Cambri at most.They got humilliated in every other conflict in Italy

>I'll randomly claim russia isn't europe for my argument then ignore the rest of the post

It is overwhelmingly agreed Europe ends at the Urals, Gibraltar and Istanbul.

The wars of 1536-1538 and 1551-1556 ended with major French territorial acquisitions.
The rest of the post is retarded psychoanalysis

>le psychoanalysis

It's just reminding you of the facts, Pierre.

The population boom in France came from all the babies Hans put in them.

I'm not even French you retard

Lucky for you, too.

...

>1536-1538
France took Turin.Spain vassalized the rest of Italy.Hardly a victory.If anything Francis just made a fool out of himself again
>1551-1559
France lost this war.It ended with the humilliated peace treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis
Why do frogs lie openly? Are they really this insecure?

i'll give you this though

it's very charitable of you to defend such a poor country

France took savoy and nice in 1538 and forts near Paris that were extremely strategically important in 1556

>most interesting and cultured country in Europe
>poor

>France took savoy and nice in 1538
No they just took the city of Turin and signed a peace treaty that allowed Charles to vassalize the entirety of Italy except Savoy and Venice
>Paris that were extremely strategically important in 1556
France lost land in the 1551-1559 Italian war.In fact king Henry admitted his defeat.You are just making things up to make France look less pathetic

>interesting
hahah no

germany wins this

>cultured

italy wins this


very subjective but still

i spent 2 years in france and its fucking miserable

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_War_of_1536–38
Sorry, it was savoy and piedmont. Still quite impressive.
>vassalize all of Italy
Most of Italy was already directly ruled by the crown of Aragon
>France lost land in 1559
What's it like to be retarded?

Exactly which war are you talking about? You haven't given one example, and the ones discussed itt were coalitions.

Stop embarrassing your country Lindy.

>Most of Italy was already directly ruled by the crown of Aragon
No it wasn't.The crown of Aragon just ruled Sicily until the second Italian war and expanded north afterwards.You are a clueless retard pal.You just lie to make your shitty country look less pathetic

>you dislike france you must be le ebil anglo

this is sad

>i spent 2 years in france and its fucking miserable

Oh I get it now. You should go complain on /int/ instead of spouting bs on Veeky Forums

No, I'm here to talk history, and it's hard to deny france's history is pretty miserable

>i spent 2 years in france and its fucking miserable

lol that explains it, literally neckbeard frustration

what? what are you even trying to say?

You still haven't shown any of the other points to be wrong, retard
And in case you didn't hear before, I'm not French

>You still haven't shown any of the other points to be wrong, retard
They are just lies. You aren't fooling anyone Pierre

>literal meme country
>interesting
>Italy wins this
Italy is basically a French cultural vassal

>they're lies cause I say so!
Ok Hans

>French cultural vassal
Kek. This frog delusion. France has produced shit culturally compared to Italy.

>impact font meme
Is it even possible to get this assblasted?

>French literature compared to Italian literature
>French food compared to Italian food
Nice try luigi

>French literature compared to Italian literature
French literature is a meme.Italian literature started modern literature
>French food compared to Italian food
Italy wins again.
France has always been pointless

So anyone who criticizes France is a butthurt Anglo? Jesus Christ this board is pathetic

Italy doesn't even have literature outside of Dante
France has Hugo, Flaubert, Balzac, Zola, Proust, Sartre, Camus, houllebecq, etc
And Italian food is a pale imitation of French food. Italy even recognizes this, their first parliamentary meetings were in French after unification

>Hugo, Flaubert, Balzac, Zola, Proust, Sartre, Camus, houllebecq,
Post modernist garbage and shit writers like Victor Hugo.Kek.
>And Italian food is a pale imitation of French food
Kek
>Italy even recognizes this, their first parliamentary meetings were in French after unification
France was the language of diplomacy.French culture has been always subpar specially given French population.How many none meme artists,musicians,actual writers and architects has France produce? That is right none

what about the franco-prussian war

op is not criticizing with good arguments, he is just butthurt for some reason. Learn the difference.

we're talking about the time France had demographic advantage

t. Anglo

ITT: /int/

Note how you literally can't name any important Italian authors other than Dante and maybe (maybe) Boccaccio
Italy is a meme

Post the original image.

>op is not criticizing with good arguments
And the others I quoted are? They are honestly just as cancerous and pathetic as the people they try and argue against. Are you so dense you don't see that? Every post I quoted uses the same old anglo/Lindy/Nigel memes and yet you're the one accusing op of not having a decent argument!

>>Have 4 times the population of your biggest neighbour
You mean 10000 times the population, it is a well know fact that most of the planet was French !

Portugal and Spain deserve some credit you know.

Im starting to see a wave of anti French threads all over Veeky Forums, did the Anglo and Germans get too angry?

>russia is not part of europe
Only /int/ users and a certain niche of Russian nationalists agree with that statement.
The only thing that really differentiates Russia from other European nations (excluding politics) is the fact that Russia kept their colonial empire (all that fucking land they have in asia). Was the British or French Empires not considered European, because most of their territory was outside of Europe?
