As the Franks (French) formed a substantial part of the force of the First Crusade, and Old French became the dominant language in the crusader states of the 12th century (notably the Principality of Antioch), the term Frank as used in the Levant could mean any Western European Christian (whether Frankish, Saxon, Flemish, etc.). Frangistan was no clearly defined area and may have referred to any land perceived to be Christian by contemporary Muslims. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frangistan

Keeping the Arabs at bay, forcefully Christianize large parts of Germanistan, have fun with Byzantine empire, lots of funny things.

shit i looked up for some reason lel
Blake Flores
He said Brits, but nobody can deny France was the ultimate power at the start of the 19th century.
Asher Turner
yes, and then they got their shit pushed in and remained in Britains shadow for the remaining 86 years of the century.
William Thomas
Technically op said warriors, and the Brits have never been the greatest warriors, Britain never had the best or strongest army, Britain was powerful because of its navy, so even if France got its shit pushed in Britain doesn't take the spot, Russia maybe, the Russians may have been poorly trained and preformed poorly in many cases, but their status as tough soldiers was never in question.
Nathaniel Hall
Britain ? What is this ? How you mean that irelevant regional power that lost all its colonies and that France is currently eating ?
Sebastian Perry
>Technically
Noah Kelly
>lost all its colonies
Asher Morgan
One could say that Britain btfo'd everyone because of industrial revolution and biggest colonial empire and strongest navy.
Robert Garcia
>France France is not even close in the 19th century. 19th century France is busy hosting a German victory parade and preparing Versailles for Reich time.
Easton Roberts
Britain btfo'd everyone because navy = power, like what the airforce is today, Britain is an island, they had to focus on the Navy primarily for defense, which meant they could skimp on the army, since the Navy did the defending, continental european powers like Spain, France and Germany couldn't afford to neglect their armies because of the threat of land invasions, Britain's focus on the Navy gave them the upper hand in their Colonial pursuits which made them a superpower. The British army was always a relatively small force.
Josiah White

Luis Stewart
Guy that isn't relevant after 1814?

Its still the 19th century and everyone and their grandmother had to fight together in order to defeat him.

Tell me again why you see France at #1 spot for the 19th century
Cooper Lewis
>Tell me again why you see France at #1 spot for the 19th century
I don't, but Britain isn't #1 in any case, its about warriors not navy and politics. My choice is Russia.
Noah Martin
To you retards, we're not talking about military powers, but individual skill of the soldiers...
Eli Baker
Why is France on the list then?
Angel Walker
>Got btfo by cotton farmers
Evan Walker
Because this is Veeky Forums, not an meme board filled with underage americans who spout "le surrendermonky meme". The French were feared for centuries.

Nolan Turner
Norman identity was a thing in the 11th and 12th centuries. Calling them Franks isn't necessarily incorrect but still. It wasn't Franks who conquered Sicily and England and Antioch.
Joseph Williams
What about the 5th to the 10th centuries. I'd say it would begin with the Huns.
Gabriel Phillips
and 7th Arabs.
Connor Bailey
Germanic tribes get the 6th century then and Vikings likely 9th
Lucas Allen
I'd say the Goths were probably a stronger force than the Angles and Saxons. The 8th-9th could be for the Franks also.
Julian Davis
But which ones feared the black warrior?
Evan Clark

Jonathan Thomas
Didnt know you were still shitpostig around here. Very nice material
Benjamin Brooks
Why Russia instead of Prussia for "most advanced and feared warriors".
Certainly this comparison looks to be mano-a-mano, and one for one a Prussian Soldier would beat a Russian one pretty much at any time in the 19th century.
Jackson Johnson
>Norman identity was a thing in the 11th and 12th centuries
Nope
It is what Anglo try very hard to believe because they refuse the fact that they have been conquered and enslaved by French
The so called Normans are just French inhabiting the duchy of Normandy the Northmen weren't numerous enough to replace any French there, and they weren't alone for the conquest of Britain but people all over France came to conquer it even Bretons
>shitposting Rude ! I never shitpost but frankpost !
Christian Baker
Deal with it faggot, you are speaking English as língua franca for some reason
Adrian Barnes
That's because of the last 3 centuries, not the 10th-15th centuries.
I'd make a solid case that the best warriors of the 10th/11th/12th century were the Song/Liao armies that had plentiful access to gunpowder, standardized state-provided equipment, and plentiful access to steel.
Aaron Cruz
Why not the mongols? They got the greatest empire, conquered China and ruined the caliphate, and from Gengis khan to timur the great they were feared by many
Camden Gonzalez
>you are speaking English as língua franca for some reason Because of British merchants and sailors, not warriors.
Connor Howard
And thats why they are on top spot for 13th century.
Juan Adams
Those British merchants messed up well with China in the opium wars he?
Aiden Jones
>Bragging about selling drugs to non-whites
Jaxon Allen
>loses argument >retreats into victim state
Jacob Hill
>loses argument Really? Bragging about fighting non-whites during times when differences between Europe and rest of the world were largest is not enough to call British le superiour warriors.
Germans are the ones who deserve the title.

shit list, sorry
Joshua Bailey
1st-5th Romans
4th-9th Byzantines

Landon Ross

'no'
It's France from 1800 to 1815 Then Russia from 1815 to 1850s Then Germans
Brits conquered spears wielding Zulus and shit, but that's not being greatest warriors
Ayden Reed
>France >top warriors lol
Matthew Kelly
Name your country, faggot
I bet we conquered you
Caleb Bell
>France >conquer anything outside of fucking deserts remind me again how long you lasted again the germans? two fucking weeks? lmao
even your colonial empire was garbage, it's literally the sahara and some shitty islands
Ayden Turner
Somehow I thing you don't understand what century means or why France was absolute top notch in the 18th century.
Ian Butler
8th century is still Arabs.
Connor Phillips
>in the 18th century. isn't that the century where you lost all your north american colonies to the english? wow what a great century
Grayson Clark
>remind me again how long you lasted again the germans? Hundred of years?
Tyler Nguyen
Anglo here, OP's a faggot and retards are arguing over who was the largest world power instead of what he actually said.
Joshua Bailey

The Germans lasted against us 2 weeks during the Napoleonic Wars
Now name your shithole
Seeing how bitter you are i guess we raped your shithole a lot

Prussian soldiers were famous for being the most drilled and organized. That is the opposite of single combat.
