@ptah31 @MorgothsReview OK, explain to everyone how France and UK were losing in 1918 and how the american saved us ? Please tell us all ears open big boy.

@djx1970 @MorgothsReview One has to wonder why we sent our boys over there to fight in the war you were losing... twice..

The trope that France has a poor history of fighting wars is complete rubbish.

@Doncha_Ngo @01Enzy @misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Everything is better in France, come one... we are still the first visited country in the world. Should I explain why to you ? Its pretty obvious, the world want to see where the greatest is concentrate.

@djx1970 @01Enzy @misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Why do you people assume everyone knowledgeable of Napoleon is a Brit? Some sort of french inferiority complex?

@ejmarkow @BiankaB12 You are very stupid and ignorant it's impressive. Is books illegal in your life ? Oh let us know... you are MAGA !?

@BiankaB12 It was the USA which landed in Normandy, France during WWII, saving a large part of Europe. What has France done for the USA with its military?

I find it amusing at just how much hatred there is towards France, because when you think about it, they ought to be the allies MAGA pretends they want: 1) they have and fund their own military, including their own nuclear weapons and defence industry/ production. 2) they share intel with the U.S. 3) they don’t have American bases on their soil that are supposedly draining the American taxpayer. 4) they opposed the war in Iraq, which is something that JD Vance - they current sitting Vice President of the United States of America said that ALL Europeans should have done. So what’s the problem?

@Doncha_Ngo @01Enzy @misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Love to the how frustrated are the brits, trying hard to find stuff against the man, the legend, the Emperor of the French. How is the Royal Navy ? Where are the boats ?

@01Enzy @misterjohnbull @djx1970 @MorgothsReview He was born in Corsica, his family are Tuscan Italians, his first language was Corsican, he only spoke French with a strong Corsican accent, he identified as a Corsican over a Frenchman, and he was a Corsican nationalist. He only rebranded as French after his family were exiled.

@alexlimeq @misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Are you both historians ? Funny brits... I know it has to be hard to see that we do pretty much everything better in France.

@djx1970 @misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview You are stupid. Napoleon lost his entire army in 1812 in a war that he himself started. "Oh, but winter was cold" A general who does not know that is an idiot not "best ever"

@avairgen9 @misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Wow, a guy is comparing Napoleon to Patton. You american obviously ?

@djx1970 @misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Patton Disagrees. You writing your reply in French reaffirms his disagreement.

@HistoryDean It's what Hitler used to sell WWII to the German people. So no, it wasn't a tie. Germany lost, asked for terms, and got them.

If France won the Great War, why did they need American help and why did the war end in an armistice and not Germany’s surrender? It was a tie. That’s why we had a second war.

@HistoryDean The allies chose an armistice over marching into Berlin to spare more lives, not because they were stuck. The "it was a tie" narrative is literally the Nazi Dolchstoßlegende (stab-in-the-back myth) repackaged, the idea that Germany wasn't really defeated, just betrayed.

@HistoryDean As for the armistice: Germany requested it. On November 9th 1918, the Kaiser abdicated, revolution was spreading through German cities, the army was in open mutiny, and Ludendorff had already fled to Sweden in disguise.

@HistoryDean The US declared war in April 1917 — after 3 years of France and Britain holding the line. By then Germany was already economically strangled by the British blockade and militarily exhausted. American troops barely had time to train before the armistice.

@HistoryDean There is good books about WWI but as it looks that every american thinks they won it:

@misterjohnbull @TRBugeaud2 @MorgothsReview You don't know shit it's embarassing.

@TRBugeaud2 @djx1970 @MorgothsReview yes the americans were the financial backbone, the brits were the millitary backbone. without american money the war doesnt go past 1916. i think you are majorly overplaying french achievements here.

@Luconck @MorgothsReview Have you ever red a book about WWI kid ? It is embarrasing at this point...

@djx1970 @MorgothsReview You didn't win WWI or WWII. You got defeated both times and needed Americans to save you. The only wars you won were against other pussies like the British.

@misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview The math doesn't care about your feelings. The win rate, the operational scale, the innovation, and the lasting doctrinal impact all point the same direction.

@djx1970 @MorgothsReview lol, ok no logical argument just posting some guy using baseball statistics to try and sum up the history of warfare. if you don't understand how retarded that is then god help you.

@misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Yes, he lost in the end. So did Alexander (died before consolidating), Caesar (assassinated), and Hannibal (suicide).

@misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview He created and was operating entire army corps as maneuver units, a corps system that every modern army still uses. He didn't just win battles, he invented the template.

@misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Every serious military history ranking (Dupuy's "Numbers, Predictions & War", the Correlates of War Project, etc.) place him at the top. Trevor Dupuy's combat effectiveness index gives French forces under Napoleon a multiplier no other army in the era approaches.

@misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview He fought ~60 major engagements and won ~45 — a win rate above 75%, unmatched at his scale of operations. Commanders like Caesar or Alexander never faced the coalition warfare he did: multiple professional European armies, coordinated against a single opponent, repeatedly.

@djx1970 @MorgothsReview by what metric? he didn't even achieve his military aims

@misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview By absolutly all metrics. No one come even close.
