What's the point of having colonies, if not to exploit their resources?
I mean the braveness of the french in WW1 was overshadowed by their incompetence, in the war most of its military command was bad and old, there were very few good french generals, Petain for example
If I recall, the French Lost the most men in the war. Not only this, but I do agree when it comes to the embarrassment in World War II. The Only Reason why France surrendered were two reasons, Tactics and their Government. Besides that, the Soldiers were well armed and they fought valiantly even when we capitulated. Maybe one day arrogant people will realize that us French, did not completely surrender and instead we fought in the Shadows as Partisans and in Africa. Vive la France, Vive la Résistance.
@Fabian Kirchgessner in WW2 their generals werent that bad, their politicians on the other side were, the french army was stronger and many of their generals were capable yet somehow their government managed to destroy every single advantage they had with instability
The French Army is a very formidable army, being able to hold the line in Verdun for 10 months. Even with the damp and cold situation in the trenches, they were able to repel the Germans. Even when the Nazis captured all of France, the French army still stands as rebels against Hitler's grip. Even when more than 1.2 million soldiers died to protect France, the Tricolore still stands. Vive la France. also thanks for the 1.4k likes i left this like a year ago
Even though they didnt last long in ww2, they held on long enough for their British allies to retreat. Its safe to say the war would have been lost without France.
WWII France is actually a good example of the differences between a people and a government. The French Government (probably from WWI related fears) surrendered. A significant number of the French People did not.

Anyone who acts like French are cowards are simply admitting their own arrogance and lack of knowledge. The only leaders that hold a candle to Napoleon are Alexander, Caeser, Mehmed II, and Chenggis Khan. Absolutely beautiful country with a beautiful history and culture.
As a (patritoic) Briton it is a shame to see such a good country have its valour torn away by one mistake. Its valour never died for me, as it should for all.
Serbia is a friend for France, just like Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, Poland, very old friends and allies. Your country is a great one and your people is very brave.
This isn't because our leaders hate Serbia that we do too, in fact our leaders hate us already so this should tell a lot about how much they represent us (and btw, this extends to other countries as well, most notably Russia. Our leaders hate Russia, but most regular people absolutely do not hate Russia)
Mikitko Owl they died because of some issues a specific Empire had an issue. Essentially, this is what went down... The Austro-Hungarian Empire was upset that Franz Ferdinand was murdered by the Black Hand Member Gavrillo Princip. This was a terrorist attack that Serbia had no control over! They had no idea it was going to happen. But as a punishment they wanted Serbia to pay for the Death of their prince and his family. Yet since they (Austria-Hungary) had taken their territory and money (as one of the bigger imperialist powers in Europe), Serbia said they couldn’t! So then the Empire said fine then I will threaten you with war allied with Germany, and then Serbia said “Hey Russia! Was need your help!”. Watching all of this was France who had jusst fought the Franco-Prussian war, trying to build up their economy and then saw this and began to rebuild their military up. Germany signed an alliance with Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire which was called the Triple Alliance. Then France, Russia, and the UK decided that is might be a good idea to be allies just incase the Axis powers attacked anyone of them (the Triple Entente) Once Germany attacked Russia...poop hit the fan and WW 1 began!
France, a land of heros and hopes. May she never fade. Vive le France! From an American who knows his history and remembers Charlemagne to Napoleon and many more heros, artists, and scientists.

The Battle of Verdun is arguably the worst single point of conflict in human history. It lasted from 21 February to 18 December 1916, the longest battle of the Great War. It is thought that 65 million shells were fired, many of them gas shells. A significant portion of these rounds never burst, and litter the fields to this day. Farmers in Verdun conduct an annual "Iron Harvest," where thousands of shells are disinterred by their plows. Some 42,000 acres of the field, the Red Zone, is off-limits to all human entrance due to high amounts of UXO and levels of arsenic, used in the shells' detonators, in excess of one thousand times the norm. Verdun was so hellish that a century later, the fields are still scarred by its impact. Never again.
I visited a few years the battlefield of the Chemin des Dames. The guide told us that these northern regions of France where WWI battlefield are the only ones in France to have permanent professional bomb disposal teams. Their motto "You only make one mistake". And they work every day, even now. Years before that, I camped in a wood in a property where an artillery battle happened. Near the entrance of the property, there was a hangar with piles of disarmed unexploded shells. The EOD team came around once a month to disarm the unexploded shells that they'd find on this property and add them to the pile until they could be disposed off. And wherever you'd walk in these woods, a hundred years later, you'd still find little pieces of metal. Hundred years old shrapnells. It's kind of sobering.
You are both right and wrong ; The battle of Verdun was the longest battle of the great war, but it was also the longest battle in human history. Even Stalingrad wasn't as long, but it was deadlier.
My Great Great Grandfather was a French infantryman during ww1, a lot of the friends he made on the front either ended up dead or maimed beyond repair. He was lucky to come out of that hell in one piece (at least physically). God bless the French nation, its sacrifices, and its people. Vive la République, Vive la France!

It sure has been a while since the last time a song got me all teared up. This one hit me to my soul! France's role in WW1 is sadly so forgotten because of WW2, when in reality they never surrendered, having among the largest and strongest resistance movements in Europe. And in WW1 having 15% of the population become a casuality of the war. That is an unimaginable number of people injured, dead, disabled and forever traumatized by the horrors of that war. Those were truly huge losses unmatched in today's world, where the reality really was that almost every family had lost a father, a brother, a son, an uncle. Massive respect from Estonia! Wish we were like you, braver when we had to be the bravest! Vive la France!
Don't forget the scars of the wars.. Verdun, Ouradour-Sur-Glane, Villanova.. so much towns in France that were destroyed or had a difficult moment because of WW1 and WW2 The people suffered yes, my great grand father fought in Verdun, but they are not here anymore.. the cities have still the scars.. Thank you 🇫🇷🇪🇪
Sadly, lots of the bravest and fiercest we had are dead, otherwise we wouldn't be lead by cowards and traitors today. But the ones who are grateful and remember, will never forget, and will keep fighting.
I've not got a single drop of French blood in me (In fact, I have more Germanic), yet I feel very patriotic for France. I do plan on visiting Verdun and doing research at some point in my future.
Mind-blowing fact: In ww1, France had 1.4 M soldiers dead (1.398 M to be precise) - that's more than all the US soldiers killed at war in the whole history of the USA (1776-2023) - and I count the US civil war in which both sides were Americans! It's even more shocking if you consider that a large number of these US military deaths were endured while the USA had a much bigger population than France in ww1 (France had a population somewhere between 39.5 M and 41.5 M, in 1914 (I've seen different estimates)). US soldiers dead at war: US civil war: between ~620 k and ~750 k deads (probably around 655 k) ww2: ~407 k ww1: ~116 k Vietnam: ~58 k (47.4 k directly in combat) The other wars have much smaller numbers of deads and are kind of negligible compared to the numbers of these.
To try to understand the impact of WWI on the country, go in rural France. In almost every villages, there is a monument with the names of the soldiers killed during the war. Even in very small villages, you can read 10 or 15 names, sometime 2, 3, 4 or 5 of the same family...

The French Army is a very formidable army, being able to hold the line in Verdun for 10 months.
Even with the damp and cold situation in the trenches, they were able to repel the Germans.
Even when the Nazis captured all of France, the French army still stands as rebels against Hitler's grip.
Even when more than 1.2 million soldiers died to protect France, the Tricolore still stands.
Vive la France.
also thanks for the 1.4k likes i left this like a year ago
Even though they didnt last long in ww2, they held on long enough for their British allies to retreat. Its safe to say the war would have been lost without France.
WWII France is actually a good example of the differences between a people and a government. The French Government (probably from WWI related fears) surrendered. A significant number of the French People did not.

It's sad that the most common known fact on the internet about France is only the 1940 disaster, but they never talk about its glory during Napoleon, one, probably the greatest leader of all times. They don't talk about France helping the americans during their revolutions, they only judge France by their mistakes, not achievements. As a romanian, a language neighbor of France, I salute you with respect, and we didn't forget your military mission to us in WW1 to reform our army.
Vive La France! 🇫🇷🤝🇷🇴
Thank you so much for your meaningful message! We stand by your side, always, as European and latin brothers and sisters. Romania has an amazing language and an even more interesting and diverse culture and history

Anyone who acts like French are cowards are simply admitting their own arrogance and lack of knowledge. The only leaders that hold a candle to Napoleon are Alexander, Caeser, Mehmed II, and Chenggis Khan. Absolutely beautiful country with a beautiful history and culture.

This isn't because our leaders hate Serbia that we do too, in fact our leaders hate us already so this should tell a lot about how much they represent us (and btw, this extends to other countries as well, most notably Russia.

Yes, I love Germany too...but careful with that saying...
10 million mens died what for?
Mikitko Owl they died because of some issues a specific Empire had an issue.
Essentially, this is what went down...
The Austro-Hungarian Empire was upset that Franz Ferdinand was murdered by the Black Hand Member Gavrillo Princip. This was a terrorist attack that Serbia had no control over! They had no idea it was going to happen. But as a punishment they wanted Serbia to pay for the Death of their prince and his family. Yet since they (Austria-Hungary) had taken their territory and money (as one of the bigger imperialist powers in Europe), Serbia said they couldn’t! So then the Empire said fine then I will threaten you with war allied with Germany, and then Serbia said “Hey Russia! Was need your help!”. Watching all of this was France who had jusst fought the Franco-Prussian war, trying to build up their economy and then saw this and began to rebuild their military up. Germany signed an alliance with Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire which was called the Triple Alliance. Then France, Russia, and the UK decided that is might be a good idea to be allies just incase the Axis powers attacked anyone of them (the Triple Entente) Once Germany attacked Russia...poop hit the fan and WW 1 began!
Ils on passeront pas! wi! (Sorry for bad french)
France, a land of heros and hopes. May she never fade.
Vive le France! From an American who knows his history and remembers Charlemagne to Napoleon and many more heros, artists, and scientists.
WHEN YOU KNOW HISTORY SHAME ON YOU. France owned 2/3 of africa. There they have introduced something later to be known as "white supremacy". That means that a large population being governed in a so called "Colony" enjoys less rights than actual civilians and contribute to the french economy by costing less money and not being given humane rights. All that was dependend on the SKIN COLOUR. A german occupation of paris might have resulted in french break away colonies which could also have resulted in other colonies (like british colonies) to do the same

The Battle of Verdun is arguably the worst single point of conflict in human history. It lasted from 21 February to 18 December 1916, the longest battle of the Great War. It is thought that 65 million shells were fired, many of them gas shells. A significant portion of these rounds never burst, and litter the fields to this day. Farmers in Verdun conduct an annual "Iron Harvest," where thousands of shells are disinterred by their plows. Some 42,000 acres of the field, the Red Zone, is off-limits to all human entrance due to high amounts of UXO and levels of arsenic, used in the shells' detonators, in excess of one thousand times the norm. Verdun was so hellish that a century later, the fields are still scarred by its impact.
Never again.
Verdun, Somme, Passchendaele was all Hell on Earth.
Lest We Forget🌹
A piece of Europe truly died at Verdun.
How can possibly two RC 1136 listen to that song, vode ?
I visited a few years the battlefield of the Chemin des Dames. The guide told us that these northern regions of France where WWI battlefield are the only ones in France to have permanent professional bomb disposal teams. Their motto "You only make one mistake". And they work every day, even now.
Years before that, I camped in a wood in a property where an artillery battle happened. Near the entrance of the property, there was a hangar with piles of disarmed unexploded shells. The EOD team came around once a month to disarm the unexploded shells that they'd find on this property and add them to the pile until they could be disposed off. And wherever you'd walk in these woods, a hundred years later, you'd still find little pieces of metal. Hundred years old shrapnells. It's kind of sobering.
You are both right and wrong ; The battle of Verdun was the longest battle of the great war, but it was also the longest battle in human history. Even Stalingrad wasn't as long, but it was deadlier.
This song always gives me the chills, especially after learning the lyrics.
Honor to the one who gave their lives for the homeland.

Allies forever! 🇷🇸💖🇫🇷
It sure has been a while since the last time a song got me all teared up. This one hit me to my soul! France's role in WW1 is sadly so forgotten because of WW2, when in reality they never surrendered, having among the largest and strongest resistance movements in Europe. And in WW1 having 15% of the population become a casuality of the war. That is an unimaginable number of people injured, dead, disabled and forever traumatized by the horrors of that war. Those were truly huge losses unmatched in today's world, where the reality really was that almost every family had lost a father, a brother, a son, an uncle. Massive respect from Estonia! Wish we were like you, braver when we had to be the bravest! Vive la France!

This is the French civic patriotism. If you subscribe to the values of the Republic, you are a citizen.
the time when Italy and France truly fightet, One beside the other One, like brothers against everything 🇮🇹🇫🇷
Mind-blowing fact: In ww1, France had 1.4 M soldiers dead (1.398 M to be precise) - that's more than all the US soldiers killed at war in the whole history of the USA (1776-2023) - and I count the US civil war in which both sides were Americans!
It's even more shocking if you consider that a large number of these US military deaths were endured while the USA had a much bigger population than France in ww1 (France had a population somewhere between 39.5 M and 41.5 M, in 1914 (I've seen different estimates)).
US soldiers dead at war:
US civil war: between ~620 k and ~750 k deads (probably around 655 k)
ww2: ~407 k
ww1: ~116 k
Vietnam: ~58 k (47.4 k directly in combat)
The other wars have much smaller numbers of deads and are kind of negligible compared to the numbers of these.
Damm
To try to understand the impact of WWI on the country, go in rural France. In almost every villages, there is a monument with the names of the soldiers killed during the war.
Even in very small villages, you can read 10 or 15 names, sometime 2, 3, 4 or 5 of the same family...

I m Russian. But I respect the French who fought against the Germans in the First and Second World Wars. I hope that we steel are friends and will not forget our ancestors who died in the first and Second World Wars. Vive la France. Слава России

Я француз, и я никогда не забуду нашего франко-русского братства, что бы ни говорили сегодняшние СМИ 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Russia and France have the best militar chorale music.
Grits from Mexico
Amazing song, almost bring goosebumps when it sangs : halte la on ne passe pas... as italian it reminds me the piave song, but with more anger and more defiance. Love from Italy.
No More Brother Wars.
French is such a beautiful language
I’m half French and I thank everyone here for the touching respect and friendliness. This comment section is such a breath of fresh air compared to the constant surrender and coward jokes we receive (most of us know it’s nearly all banter and jokes but it can get a bit much sometimes). Vive la France et Vive la liberté! 🇫🇷
VIVE LA FRANCE
FROM PERÚ ... 🇫🇷🇵🇪

(Au fait, je viens de la Corée 🇰🇷🇰🇷)
Vive la Corée, et merci
How is this song calming but also inspiring and epic?!
Je suis toujours émue lorsque j'entends ce chant. Je ne peux pas m'empêcher de penser à mon arrière arrière grand père mort pour la France le 30 mai 1915 à Roclincourt (Pas de Calais) et à tous ces hommes qui ont tout donné pour leur pays. Grand respect !!!
Vive la France et vive l'amitié russo-française. Une amitié forte et durable entre nos pays et nos peuples. La Russie aime la France et la culture française. Salutations de Russie 🇷🇺🇲🇫
Ouais, dommage que pour le moment ce soit pas trop ça hein.... (en espérant que ça aille meiux un jour)
Oui surtout dommage que la France, sa culture et tout ce qui l'accompagne est voué à disparaître lol... Je laisse 50 ans max
