Anyone here agree that France was like WW1 and WW2 Germany during Louis XIV the Sun King's reign?
Most Americans and British people keep saying France never won a war and are coward who drop their rifles and put up a white flag, surrendering before a battle began.I disagree completely!Anyone who read French history knows that France was the most powerful nation under the reign of Louis XIV(AKA the SUN KING) France was so feared by all European nations.During this era, France had the most advanced and sophisticated weaponry and military tactics and strategies(Like WW1 Germany and WW2 Nazi Germany)!Also, France was the richest and most populated nation in Europe.France even had the highest standards of living and largest army in Europe! When Louis IV waged war, his army was no joke.Like Nazi Germany, he initially conquered every nation he attacked.His military campaigns even scared the crap out of the British(like Hitler's military campaigns did)! He only began losing when Britain allied with other powerful European nations that were not yet conquered (such as Spain and Austria) to gang up on his army.Even when alliances were made,Loius still won many battles(Like Nazi Germany)! He only ended his wars and made treaties with the other Europeans when France was exhausted of money and resources(Like Germany in WW1)! And even before he made the treates, the not one foreign army ever entered France(again, just like WW1 Germany). His armies nearly conquered all of Europe and caused so many casualties and destruction toward enemy nations of France that in his peace treaties, Louis was forced by rulers of his nation's enemy to make repairations and greatly limit the size of his army in the same way the Treaty of Versailles greatly limited German armed forces and caused Germany to pay for the damage WW1 caused.So how come most Americans and British people call the French sissies believe they had always been spineless cowards without guts to fight well in fact FRANCE WAS like WW1 and WW2 Germany during LOUIS XIV the SUN KING's reign?
