Is De Gaulle the most French person to have ever existed? Was that the source of his power?

He was the last real Frenchman and France died with him. RIP sweet prince.

No that would be Napoleon

>The most French person was an Italian

Based

Yeah, what's it to you?

>escaped from his country during hard times to sit in his basement located in England and roleplay as leader of non-existent resistance
Most French indeed.

yes

Then has the surviving SOE/MI6 agents in France thrown out immediately after liberation and declares the invasion money issued to allied troops to be counterfeit and for people to not accept them.

What a guy!

How the fuck did he even manage to get away with a permanent security council seat and with a piece of German clay to occupy?

Didn't lie down like the anglos wanted him to do

I genuinely have no idea how he pulled that off. It's actually really fucking impressive.

un vrai mange merde

Got gifted it by the Anglo actually

Thank you, finally somebody posted my French husbando.

The last great Frenchman, an inspiring figure that France needs now more than ever.

>pic related, me every time I do something that Le Général would disapprove of (i.e. Not protecting my country at any cost, not going to church, not attacking fascists, talking to girls, etc)

He was given it by the Anglos you spastic

Napoleon was actually Danish

And he was right
While I don't respect him for his irrelevant war "feats", I do respect him for preventing America from turning France into another castrated colony like they did with Germany and Japan after he war

How was it right to sit in England for the entire war and then throw out the people who had fought and risked horrible torture and a gas chamber or bullet for his country, at the first opportunity? How was it right to make it more difficult for the people doing the actual fighting to free his country to get food and supplies?

Because he could

You can also choose to kill or not kill
There is a line that separates respectable countries
And Africa
That line is doing things regardless of morals

Wasn't he a Breton thus Welsh?

>There is a line that separates respectable countries
>And Africa

Why do you think De Gaulle left London for Africa
He knew he had crossed the line

Had he not kick and scream and pushed for independant french forces, France would have been an occupied country after the war.

If anything Bretons are closer to Cornish. But no, he wasn't Breton.

ceci

The source of his power was literally Churchill and he used that power to bitch about him at every oppertunity.

What about Algeria and Viet Nam?

It's Indochina. Viet Nam was just the east part of it.
To make it short, Algeria was backed by USSR and Indochina was backed by China, thus the inevitable clusterfuck.

And for Indochina he was not in power add the fact that most people forget about France during that time is the civil war they were into

You mean, as opposed to an aristocracy who sat in their basement located in England and invited in foreigners to invade and take over the country? Most perfidious indeed.

>Got gifted it by the Anglo actually
Got gifted it by the Americans actually.

Wasnt in power for Vietnam and France was never going to be able to reintegrate Algeria, the age of colonialism was over. The French needed to put an end to this war, and total reconquest was just goong to delay the inevitable.

He doomed millions...

He correctly predicted the flakiness of the UK in regards to the (eventual) EU and that America can't be trusted to act in France's interest.

He was plenty French as well.

Somehow it’s still the fault of the Jews.

It just makes them more ridiculous.

Of Negros.

french user here, that made me laugh because that's pretty much this.Also just after 1945, De Gaulle went full autism "the anglo dindu nuffin for us" "muh france 1st global power" "muh let's betray our people in Algeria"

You're thinking of this one maybe ?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle_(poet)

No, Napoleonius Bonopartus was Roman

That was actually Pétain

>40h of work a week
>paid vacations (rtt)
he killed france and made this country a steaming pile of lazy fags

He was right.

About everything.

Not the Panama Canal.

The existence of his nation was solely due to Anglo/Americans (from both Communism and Fascism) yet he goes on an anti Anglo tirade after millions of Anglo/American troops die on French soil. He is probably the most disrepectful, ungrateful pieces of shit in history.

>get absolutely destroyed by Germany, do almost nothing for the remainder of the war
>somehow manage to meme America and Britain into treating you like one of the big guys
Gotta admire his gall

Non rien de rien...

It’s why your country will always be bullied here
Be the person of change and embrace your nations faults

Wrong Pierre, someone who calls out people for being ungrateful losers.

>De Gaulle pulls out of NATO and orders the American general in charge to take all of his soldiers out of the country
>the general asks De Gaulle if he should take the Americans in France's war memorials too

He was a moor*

Stalin was overly generous to French demands in negotiations leading up to the end of the war, because he thought there would be a communist revolution once the bulk of the Anglo-American forces pushed into Germany

>French troops wear US army uniforms
Not all troops.

He and lindybeige start to fight each other.

Third most.

Second most is pic related.

and the winner is....

>when panama makes it on a poster and you don't

why do french people have oval shaped heads with big noses?

It's an actor tho
This is a scene from "Divide and Conquer ", a very old American WW2 movie

He and his country where a joke. He piggybacked on France's past glory and red fear to be taken seriously and being able to play with the big kids.

Frenchmen are fucking pathetic

>claiming CDG was the best Frenchman

I'll admit, he was pretty based. But not compared to pic related.

>united with Haiti
The French probably refused to have their flag on the poster.

>De Gaulle pulls out of NATO and orders the American general in charge to take all of his soldiers out of the country
>the general asks De Gaulle if he should take the Americans in France's war memorials too
That was LBJ's handiwork. When told by his Sec of State that DeGaulle wanted US forces out of France, he smoldered a bit, then without looking up told the SoS to ask DeGaulle if he wanted him to remove all of the American graves, one by one. The SoS tried to talk him out of this, but LBJ was adamant. The SoS waited until a quiet moment later with DeGaulle, and asked him directly. DeGaulle went white and said nothing, he was so shaken.

>DeGaulle went white and said nothing
Apparently he said no.

>De Gaulle unironically thought that France could be a third power alongside the United States and the Soviet Union

>this little guy doesn't want to lick our boots
>what a pathetic idiot !

He was right, and Macron is continuing his legacy

He wasn't a manlet so he fails on that front desu

Why is Macron so great bros?

>hey, these guys saved our asses in a war, and then paid for 75% of another war
>should we be allies with them like literally every other country in Western Europe
>nah, #yolo

>yo french-bro how about you become a literal vassal state like just lemme uuuuhhh military bases on your territory bro youll like it
>I must say no. My gratitude only goes so far. How about an alliance based on mutual respect and cooperation?
>WTF BRRRRO IT WASNT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE IT IS I MEAN BRO IF IT WASNT FOR US YOUD BE SPEAKIGN GERMAN NOW BRRRRRO

When you help a friend do you always ask to sleep in his bed afterwards?

We remained allies though. Never left NATO, just refused to leave French and foreign troops (on our soil) under foreign command.

He has the ambition and the cunning of Trump, but he somehow manages to still be respectable and admired. He will make France great(er) again, thanks to radical centrism.

>hey do you want to be a puppet state
>no
>you ungrateful fuck
De Gaulle knew what assholes you were, that's why he pushed for independent French nuclear weapons and tried his best to fight US interests in Western Europe after the war.

t. slave

This

He got what he wanted and didn't need you anymore, it's just good business. And more importantly, he didn't want France to become yet another US vassal.

>40h of work a week
>paid vacations (rtt)
>he killed france
how much of a workcuck are you? you seriously think degrading conditions of work and praising the ratrace of international economic race to the bottom is laudable?

>the cunning of Trump
lol

Because the Brits and the yanks wanted to ensure a western majorty in the case of China falling - which it did.

>He will make France great(er) again, thanks to radical centrism.
He is europeist, he will make France fade for good, De Gaulle was sovereignist to the bitter end.

What proof is there of the allies wanting to make France a puppet government ?

Europeism means fading into a great power.
Nationalism means fading into nothingness.

it's historical fact that roosevelt wanted to set up a military occupied government similar to roosevelt but de gaulle hijacked this effort and put civilian government in place almost immediately.

>all these butthurt Anglos upset that De Gaul fucked them around

Anglos are worse then the jews

>sell your culture and power for money
>call it gaining power anyway
Oh wait
>you actually pay billions for losing all of this
Brilliant. But nationalism is so bad that is worth the price, right?

It would be.

But you're deluded. French culture has nothing to fear from the EU. As for power, we buy it from the union. The only way to defend the interests of the French in this global economy is to defend it together with those of the other Europeans. Nationalism means being forced to accept commercial diktats from China and the US. The EU offers a minimum of democratic control (and would offer more if nationalists and neoliberals did not work together to weaken it).

Napoleon was a turk you dumb fuck
