Historically and locally dominating accross majority of the time. The world wars, front facing and alone and equally decisive thus creating the world war in the first place.

Basically, the axis are trying to cut off the closet lunatic heads off first that then sparks one now two world wars.

God people are so clueless on here. You likely can’t name a single battle and the war it was connected to. Out of the 169 most important world battles fought since 387BC, France has won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10.

Dude in 387BC France does not exist 🤣

[RebelinSteel]

The numbers still count. Your title is clueless and shows complete ignorance

[RebelinSteel]

Also learn to read English before trying to take the piss. It is saying that from that date 169 critical battles have been fought, not that France existed but from that time of all the battles fought.

Historian Niall Ferguson argues that France is the most belligerent military power in history. It participated in 50 of the 125 major European wars fought since 1495; more than any other European state. It is followed by Austria which fought in 47 of them; Spain in 44; and England in 43. Out of the 169 most important world battles fought since 387BC, France has won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10

u have to read more of history
“Lost” French wars n the myth of French military incompetence stem almost solely from the lightning victory of the Nazis in 1940

They did not. In fact, they mostly won. The only really lost a few major ones of note which established this reputation. Historically France was a military juggernaut.
