Francebecame an industrial powerhouse, with its economy growing rapidly and its influence spreading across the globe. The country played a significant role in both World War I and II, suffering heavy losses but ultimately emerging victorious. In the post-war period, France became one of the founding members of the European Union and has played an active role in shaping European politics and culture. Today, France is a modern, diverse country that is known for its rich cultural heritage, beautiful landscapes, and world-renowned cuisine. It remains a major player in global politics and is home to some of the world's most iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Your French pronunciation butchered all names! Good video though!

[@chadst.pierre5257]

A lot of the pronunciations of these French words were wrong but nice video anyway. France is my ancestors homeland and I am a direct descendent of the French colonists of New France in Québec and Acadia. A lot of my relatives still lives in Canada today between Québec and New Brunswick of Canada today. I even know how to pronounce those French names in France. My ancestors came mostly from the northern part of France to the New France colony. The one ancestor I found that was farther south of northern France was born in the city of Angouleme, France. But most of the French colonists were from the Perche region nearby Paris and in Normandy and Brittany, France. It's believed that my colonists ancestors left the country out of the port city of La Rochelle, France. Most of my direct ancestors that I am descended through are originally from Normandy, France. My St. Pierre family is originally from the village of Gouy, Normandy, France for many generations before my 10th great grandfather Guillaume St. Pierre moved to the city of Rouen, Normandy, France where he raised his children there and his son Michel St. Pierre raised his children at. Then Michel's son Pierre St. Pierre boarded a ship as an indentured servant to go to Québec by himself in 1664 at the age of 21 years old. Pierre never came back to his homeland ever again after his indentured servantude time was over. He then married a 16 year old young woman named Marie Gerbert in 1679. And he started a family with her by having 15 children with her. Two of their sons died in infancy but the rest of their children did survive into adulthood and then had their own children and grandchildren. I am a direct descendent of this couple through the male only line. I carry Pierre's Y chromosome that has been past down from father to son down to me. Since I am the oldest and first born son of my father and my father is the only son of his mother and father with three sisters. One older sister and two younger sisters. I do have one younger brother and one younger sister in my family. But I am the first born child of my parents.

There is a mistake during the 2nd World War, the French government under the orders of Marshal Pétain does not go to London but remains in France, and Paris being occupied by the Germans in June 1940, settles in Vichy in zone not occupied by the Germans. For Pétain the French government must remain in France to protect the French population and would lose its legitimacy if it left the French soil The formula of Pétain is "We do not take the homeland to the sole of his shoes." France declared itself neutral from June 1940 despite German pressure to see France declare war on its former British ally after the latter’s attack on the French fleet at Mers El Kebir on 3 July 1940, Churchill fearing that Hitler would get his hands on the powerful French fleet to invade Britain.Some of the soldiers and politicians hostile to the armistice took refuge in London in June 1940 in order to continue the war and formed a government of the free French, but they did not constitute the legal government of France but of the rebels, so that World War II will be doubled in France by a civil war between the supporters of the regime of Marshal Pétain and those of General De Gaulle, the French confronting each other in France with the resistants hostile to Pétain but also in the colonial possessions of the French Empire in Dakar, Syria for example. The German invasion of the unoccupied French zone in November 1942 in violation of the armistice after the Anglo-American landing in North Africa makes Pétain lose all legitimacy and gives reason to De Gaulle’s argument that the government by remaining in France is under German control and has no freedom of action or legitimacy.

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

Oh, I see. You're going for a bit of hyperbole there. It's like you're saying the French are the ultimate villains in a cheesy 80s movie. But let's take a step back and examine this claim with a bit of humor and perspective. First of all, let's not forget that everyone has their quirks, and the French are no exception. They might have a penchant for long lunches and striking attitudes, but does that make them evil? I'd say it's more amusing than anything else. Now, let's talk about their colonial past. Yes, it's true that the French have a history of colonization, and it wasn't always pretty. But does that mean every French person today is evil? No, it's like saying all Americans are responsible for the actions of their government. That would be a bit unfair, wouldn't it? And what about their love for fine wine, cheese, and art? Does that not count for anything? The French have given us some of the world's most exquisite culinary delights and artistic masterpieces. That's something to appreciate, not vilify. So, while the French might have their flaws, I wouldn't go as far as calling them evil. They're just like the rest of us - a mix of virtues and vices. And who knows? Maybe they'll even teach us a thing or two about enjoying life's simple pleasures. After all, we could all use a little more joie de vivre in our lives.

France on the ww2 1940🇨🇵

[@domitiusafer]

France is probably with Poland, several times erased from the map that managed to resurface, the only sufficiently resilient country capable after terrible military defeats to climb the slope and return to being a great power and even the dominant western power as was the case in the 17th and 18th centuries when France, however divided and exhausted by bloody civil wars between Catholics and Protestants, managed to become the first power in the western world under King Louis XIV after simultaneously defeating the English, the Spanish, the Dutch and the Holy Roman Empire until imposing the grandson of King Louis XIV on the throne of Spain and its vast South American possessions. As will be the case later under the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century when the young French republic managed to repel and defeat all allied European monarchies against it (England, Spain, Portugal, Piemont, Austria, Holy Roman Empire, Russia, Sweden) that is, the need to simultaneously preserve its multiple land borders against simultaneous invasions to the north by Belgium , to the east by the Rhine and to the south by Italy and to the south by Spain (whereas for example the British protected by the sea only need a powerful navy) While France was the most populous country in Europe, it could victoriously maintain all its borders as was the case during the reign of Louis XIV, under the French Revolution and then at the beginning of Napoleon’s reign.But the collapse of its demography from 1811 ,his youth has been bled by the wars of the revolution and Napoleon goes, but especially after the First World War (France has 41 million résidents in 1940 against 60 million Germans) will make effective control of all its borders impossible and the need to seek alliances. Having been diplomatically isolated, Napoleon III was defeated in 1870 by Prussia, which had gathered around him all the other German states, and France won the First World War thanks to alliances with Russia, Britain and the United States. The rejection by the primary anticommunism of the French leaders under English pressure to ally with the USSR to force the Germans to dviser their forces as in 1914 will lead to France numerically inferior to the"Germany to receive as in 1870 the shock of the entire German army Quickly abandoned by its British ally who embarked after a few weeks of combat his expeditionary corps in Dunkirk with his aviation , France in numerical inferiority against the time"Germany, then Italy which attacked him in the Alps on June 10, 1940 and which must maintain troops to the south and the Maghreb in particular in Morocco due to the threatening position of the Spain of Franco until then allied of the "Germany and Italy which declared itself "not belligerent"an ambiguous status between neutrality and belligerence and occupied the city of Tangier in Morocco, will find it impossible to resist on all fronts. His general servile in order to satisfy politicians eager to make budgetary savings in military spending especially after the economic crisis of 1929 which had held that the Ardennes forest and the Meuse river were natural obstacles impenetrable tanks so they were not useful to erect fortifications under the Maginot line But German tanks managed to cross the forest of the Ardennes and the river Meuse in Sedan, Only the channel that buried France and England constituted a natural obstacle that prevented German tanks from sending to England. This was done despite being outnumbered by the Germans and Italians and abandoned by their British ally who had sent only 10 divisions to France instead of the 40 English divisions promised to the debaucher of the conflict in September 1939 (even though Britain had more résidents than France 49 million against 41 million in France and had the largest colonial empire ) French soldiers fought valiantly managing to contain the Italians on the border of the Alps (For example, in six weeks of combat, 61,000 French soldiers were killed against 50,000 German soldiers, in comparison, the Americans had 57,000 soldiers killed but in eleven years of war in Viet Nam between 1962 and 1973). In reality the decisive turning point was the speech given on the radio by the new head of the French government Marshal Pétain asking for an armistice and saying "It is with a tight heart that I ask you to stop the fighting", interpreted by many French soldiers as an order to cease fighting immediately, while the armistice did not come into effect until 25 June 1940. A political and military fault since the German army could from 17 June 1940 until the armistice on 25 June 1940 almost without resistance. Thus, out of the one million five hundred thousand French soldiers made prisoners , one million two hundred miles during the last week of June 18 to 25, 1940, the Germans complacently filming for propaganda purposes the French soldiers prisoners during this last week of the conflict without obviously specifying the dates and broadcasting the images in the world news, which gave the impression to other countries ignoring Pétain’s speech of June 17 that the French soldiers had surrendered without fighting. A part of the French soldiers refusing the position of Pétain and the armistice went to London continued the fight alongside General De Gaulle leader of the opponents to Marshal Pétain.
