@RandomJ80710594 And there it is; the sneering sense of undeserved superiority that Europeans always default to when their argument isn't accepted by dint of their "I'm European" bona fides.

@RandomJ80710594 If you really think being anglophones has that much influence on perspective you're the one coming off as dull.

@BabyRuckles I think you all just greatly underestimate how much being monolingual Anglos narrows your historical knowledge and world views. The fact that you've never seen those detailed front maps before should have been a little eye opener

@RandomJ80710594 I'm not going to pretend France doesn't have a history of fighting its ass off and the only reason there was a British Army after 1940 was the French stalling the Wermacht long enough for the Dunkirk Evacuation, but let's call a spade a spade.

@RandomJ80710594 The population in 1914 was the population, pretending 10 million people in Great Britain didn't exist is a weird flex.

@BabyRuckles You are adding extra 10 million to the UK here I think they were closer to 45. Still don't understand why you'd underestimate French contribution tho, they held most of the western front for 4 years. I guess it's typical Anglo-American bias...

@RandomJ80710594 68 million isn't double the 54 million of Great Britain or the 88 million of the Commonwealth, it is almost double France's 39.6, but no, there wasn't this XBAWKES HUEG population advantage and, there was also the ~160 million Czarists on their Eastern Front.

@Michael53854672 Yes one of the reasons obviously. France lost more soldiers in the 4 years of ww1 than the US has in its entire history combined

@BabyRuckles Well yeah probably since Germany had almost double the population of the UK and France, neither would have won alone. But still France was the main allied contributor I really don’t get your point here...

@RandomJ80710594 The facts were, France was in the back foot in 1915 and an eroding holding pattern through mid 1917, without commonwealth soldiers (that English Commonwealth) they'd have folded by 1916.

@BabyRuckles So what? France was by far the main allied force... There's a good reason why they never show you those detailed front maps in the US/UK

@RandomJ80710594 "Ha! We stopped you before you could reach Paris with 3 million Commonwealth backups" isn't quite the win condition you're imagining.

@RandomJ80710594 @OrdnancePackard "the French republic" is it the same french republic that surrendered to the germans in world war two or is it the same french republic that I needed america's help to win world war one. Chill out bro. You're not the world conquering power, you think you are anymore.

The Bazaar of War@bazaarofwar·
It’s interesting how much French colonialists “went native” in the 18th century compared to the British. Not just in India, where they held formal titles from various Indian princes, but also in North America, where they often lived among the natives and adopted their lifestyle.

This territory was not an empire in the usual European colonial mold, but held in their capacity as feudatories of the Mughal Empire—French governors had already been granted the title Nawab of Pondicherry, putting them on an equal footing with native princes.

@OrdnancePackard I don’t think it will work out. Japan has a cultural of no surrendering. I mean it took a shit ton to get them to surrender. France well they surrender as a preamble.
