Thank you for your insight and a heart felt thanks to France for their crucial aid in establishing the United States as a new nation.

I truly hate communism but it's great on people but always ends in genocide Great on paper*

Yup, I caught that one too and it raised me off of the couch to comment. WW1 he was sadly mistaken about France surrendering. The opposite was true. What should be the right strategy for France now? I'm struggling to figure out what my own nation's (US) strategy should be. It can be quite convoluting and lots of gray area. Both of our nations are struggling to preserve their own identities. Anyways I think you have cool commentary and I look forward to checking out more of your history uploads. "Lafayette we are here". Cheers and vive la France

I love watching reaction videos from people who have some sort of in depth knowledge/training of the subject. I don't care what Jane Doe has to say about a music video, but listening to composers or vocal coaches talk about it teaches me something new. You are, by far, the best reaction to TFE that I've found. Excellent work and thank you!

I hope many more people find your channel. The French were crucial to American Independence and deserve more spotlight during that timeframe. Many Americans don't even know that one of our most famous monuments, the Statue of Liberty, was a French gift.

"History is always better than fiction" well said. Keep up the good work!

Wow I've seen the movie,an it's fantastic. Wow based on a true story,man dose that make him a french samurai,I wonder what the Japanese thought of him staying behind because of loyalty to them,another fantastic video my friend.

During the American Civil War, despite saying they were neutral leaning towards the CSA, the British gifted the CSA warships, one that would become the CSS Alabama. The CSS Alabama would be used to attack merchant shipping and other targets. The CSS Alabama was eventually sunk off the coast of France by a US ship. Because of these ships, the US would go into disputes with the British Empire over the damage caused by the ships and them not keeping to their neutrality. This was called the Alabama Claims (1862- 1872).

Congrats on the elections! 🙂

What gets lost to history is America's Constitutional government is the second government. The US started with The Articles of Confederation. It was purposely designed to restrict central authority and it was too weak. A few years later it was dissolved for the current government.

Marquis de Lafayette brought Thomas Jefferson over to France after the Revolution. They tried to make a more liberal government. It use to be there were more 150 places in the US named for Lafayette.

Did I miss hear, or did you say " the Hapsburg's and their chins?" 4:30 P.S. or maybe you said "the Qin."

I love the detail you add to the story. Thank you. Best wishes from Alabama, USA P.S. You might find this interesting- a 16 year old girl, Sybil Ludington, rode twice as many miles that night than Paul Revere. They did not shout, “The British are coming,” because these colonials were also British. Instead, they told the people that “The regulars are coming.” 😊

As an American from a military background, I understand that France gave us the Statue of Liberty, and we still fight for it. New sub from NC

I've always loved this story because of how wild and crazy it is and having more of the history just makes it all the better! ☺👍

Really loved the extra history you provided in the breaks!

The French Revolution was easily one of the biggest turning points in Europe’s history.

LOVE your research and facts you talk during the video! I learn even more! Just found your channel and love it. Def a new subscriber 💜

My grandfather made it through it. I had to piece stuff together after he passed. I just cant watch this video. But im sure its good.

Did you say that french soldiers carried baguettes in their pockets?

Well how the hell am i supposed to know catalonia even exists. Guess what? Now i know

Napoleon was a fucking menace to anybody that opposed him. His thinking is still sound nowadays.

France did so much over hundreds of years.

Snooty and expensive? Sure great people? Sure.

Napoleon

Various times in this reaction (parts 1 & 2) your statements reminded me of Vietnam (I spent 18 months there). The French couldn't defeat them .. we took over and the same thing happened. Seems that unless you kill off enough of the enemy (Culloden) ... you are defeated piecemeal .. I think mostly it is not defeats in battle but the underpinning support at home.

Great reaction!

Fun fact. The last vessel to leave Wake Island before the Japanese attack was the Tugboat Arthur Foss - it was under weigh between Wake and Hawaii when it learned of the attack. It is still afloat as a museum vessel in Seattle, Washington, USA.

You are witnessing the last moments of their lives.

Monroe Doctrine, I love the discussion of such topics as they come up. Your brief summary of your knowledge on the topics that's mentioned is terrific. <3 Lafayette from America, Vive la France, Vive la liberté! America and France, Liberty means so much to both of our people. <3

I loved your description of Iran "Pissing on their shoes" - because yes, from 1979 on, starting with the debacle of the hostage taking at the US Embassy in Tehran, Iran had been doing just that every chance that they got. Constant belligerent posturing and provocations - but never quite enough to provoke an official armed response. All of this happening with the background of the US and USSR navies pushing each other's limits during the "Cold War". So, the US Navy had been waiting for this for the best part of 10 years.

Informative. I didn't expect to learn anything new because we were taught a lot about France here due to Lafayette. Such a badass, Lafayette was. I have been enjoying some of your videos lately and I wanted to tell you that your videos are thoroughly satisfying. Greetings from Virginia, U.S., France's Sister Republic

I never knew 'dragoons' got their name from the small arms weapons the French issued to their cavalry units in the 18th century!

The story of the Samuel B Roberts is an excellent story all by itself. (Both the one in this story, and the first USS Samuel B Roberts)

Love ya man. You know history.

22:50 Thanks for the vocabulary lesson. I'll try to remember "Cheh!" and use it when my friend Alain does something foolish.

14:30-15:09 is South Korea 🇰🇷 not North Korea 🇰🇵

Ok I now understand why Germany was so badass 😂

Capitalism KILLS any kind of socialism because capitalism doesn't want the peasants to understand that they have POWER!!

16:00 Frenchy said, "What is this man made of?" That question prompted me to share the fact that Daniel Daly had extraordinary actions that were NOT discussed in the Fat Electrician video. Here is my favorite omitted incident: "At the outbreak of the Battle of Veracruz on April 21, 1914, Sergeant Daly landed in Veracruz, Mexico, with a combined force of 1,200 U.S. Marines and sailors. The American objective was to seize the port and customs house to prevent a shipment of German weapons-200 machine guns and 15 million rounds of ammunition, potentially to be used against the United States-from reaching shore. The ensuing battle saw intense street fighting, and the day after landing, Daly's platoon was pinned down in an arroyo, facing heavy sniper fire from a rooftop. Daly covertly crawled out of the ditch, entered the building from the rear and killed its entire seven man garrison, five by rifle fire and two by bayonet. By the end of the day, the Americans had captured the city." Edit: My great uncle is buried at Menin Gate. He died in Belgium before the US had even entered WW1. He, along with thousands of other Americans, had volunteered to fight in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. He died near Ypres. These men are mostly forgotten today in America, but the Belgians remember. They perform a ceremony every evening at 8pm called "Last Post", and they've been doing so for over 100 years now (with a hiatus during WW2).

I had watched a few of your reaction videos, and followed for that, but I've been binging your original content like this, and it's absolutely amazing. You deserve a lot more subs!

Shoutout to our best French ally of this time period - Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette - hero in both the US and in France. After the War of Independence he returned to France, but he did visit the US again in 1784. He addressed the Virginia House of Delegates where he called for "liberty of all mankind" and urged the emancipation of all slaves. Maryland's legislature honored him by making him and his male heirs "natural born Citizens" of the state, which made him a natural-born citizen of the United States after the 1789 ratification of the Constitution. He visited the USA for the last time in 1824 and was awed at the love the Americans had for him. Lafayette arrived at New York on 15 August 1824, accompanied by his son Georges Washington and his secretary Auguste Levasseur. He was greeted by a group of Revolutionary War veterans who had fought alongside him many years before. New York erupted for four continuous days and nights of celebration. He then departed for what he thought would be a restful trip to Boston but instead found the route lined by cheering citizens, with welcomes organized in every town along the way. According to Unger, "It was a mystical experience they would relate to their heirs through generations to come. Lafayette had materialized from a distant age, the last leader and hero at the nation's defining moment. They knew they and the world would never see his kind again." Lafayette died in France in 1834. President Jackson ordered that Lafayette receive the same memorial honors that had been bestowed on Washington at his death in December 1799. Both Houses of Congress were draped in black bunting for 30 days, and members wore mourning badges. Congress urged Americans to follow similar mourning practices. Later that year, former president John Quincy Adams gave a eulogy of Lafayette that lasted three hours, calling him "high on the list of the pure and disinterested benefactors of mankind". Today there are hundreds of streets, cities, and towns in the USA named after him - so many that they have their own page on Wikipedia: (List of places named for the Marquis de Lafayette).
