UK vs France is such a classic it deserves a remake every 4-5 years.
Agreed, it's a very salty one too say the least 😅😭
You are not tired i think de have don it toi much this pass couple 100 hundred Years
For a long time they did do a "remake" every 5 years in real life lol
In five years there won't be a UK.

This war gets more sequels in history than fast and furious
So far, there have been 30 Anglo-French wars in history.
At this point I think both sides are reluctant to destroy one another out of fear of not being able to fight again.
@@carterjones8126 more like there's no point anymore to do so
Well, the series of wars between France, and England/United Kingdom had been the longest-lasting conflict in World History (between two existing countries, anyway). The first time the king of France, and the king of England went to war against each other, had been in the 1100s (the conflict between king Louis le Gros of France, and his more powerful feudal vassal, king Henri Beauclerc of England); and the last time France, and the United Kingdom went to war against each other, was in the 1800s (the war between emperor Napoléon Bonaparte of France, and the United Kingdom).
He failed to mention that UK and France have 5 wins each in Eurovision Song Contest, though both have diminished performance in 21st century. UK has shown more aggression with such titles as "Boom-Bang-a-Bang" albeit in a tied result. Difficult outcome to predict now with social distancing and no (French) kissing.
This is the kind of in-depth geopolitical analysis I crave.
Lol
It really matters in war😄
Because we both realized that the winner of the eurovision, has to fund the next one, so that's why we stopped trying and picked the worst candidates
You made my day. Hey thanks.

@@ravercorum20 Get over it child
If you are fighting in a full on war with an opponent a few miles away it doesn't make sense to go after the far away overseas territories unless you are in a position of extreme disadvantage. The point of the overseas territories is to use as a staging area against far away enemies. In this war the enemy will likely concentrate on lone ships and lone bases which are closer. If I were France I would be using Spec ops and strike forces for attacking radar sites, ports and lone ships in Wales and Scotland and maybe Northern Ireland to force the English to move troops to different parts of the islands and to stretch them out. Then I would use my large forces in large decisive engagements.
Uk "Spec Ops" are more numerous, more experienced and more highly regarded...
@@guyroppa7786 La source de ta connerie s'il te plaît ?
Essentially the Foreign Legion versus the S.A.S. and S.B.S.
Neither France or UK has any large force, military speaking. We have expert, professional forces, not made for a country invasion. Enough to hold Mali against jihadis, or to help USA in Iraq, but not to conquier and occupy a 60 millions inhabitants country lol
Last time I was this early the maginot line still held the tide!
Actually the maginot line held the tide so perfectly that the germans elected to go around
No part of the line surrendered and very few parts of it were taken.
There is no Maginot Line or fortifications between France and the UK. Very different scenario from WWII in an hypothetical war.
Contrary to popular thought, the Maginot line was never pierced.

I have a good friend who I met about 15 years ago as a teenager, he is French. Ever since, dispite our genuine friendship, we're often taking the mick out of each others nationality.

@Johnny Jackson History says otherwise (France won more times against the UK in wars involving eachothers), furthermore, all France would have to do is blockade and isolate the UK from the rest of the world and wait for the local population to starve, because unlike France, the UK is dependent for most of what it consumes, including firearms.... most of your missiles are built in France, your aircrafts are a European jointed effort between several countries whose factories aren't present in the UK and so forth. While France is completely self-sufficient, be it food, armament and so on.

Ahhhh started watching this channel with the first 2016 UK Vs France video, looking foreward to this!
Great video, but no consideration of war goals. What would each side define as victory? This would define their deployment. Eg. If France felt taking Channel Islands and Gibraltar was victory, Spain would surely join in... etc etc.
Spain would always join whoever gives it Gibraltar, be it the United Kingdom, Russia, China or the Martians.

Cant wait to see some naval battles between them in real...
Something crucial missed regarding the air War in the beginning... the UK has the Type 45 Destroyer, 6 of them. Only 1 can down an entire airwing in a matter of minutes!
It can fire 8 missiles in less than 10 seconds, guide double that simultaneously which means no aircraft comes close to being able to approach the UK mainland.
In addition, the home port of the Royal Navy is right in the middle of the English Channel, meaning the Type 45s can operate from home in relative safety.
The UK has a superior Submarines and are elite when it comes to anti-submarine Warfare, therefore the sea war would go to the UK there as well, thus pinning the French in place.
same From France FDI ( 6 owned) and FREMM with Thales radar.... well tuff to said one is better than the other , but a thing is sure if a single plane is shoot down france will use nuke we have been trainned for that and no need to ask US president the autorisation to do it.
I'm not sure what you mean, sorry?
The 2021 hook' em Award contest ( sub detection mock combat ) has been won by the french's frigates. Perhaps you are good at it, but behind ;)
Plus, Astute is using french Thales detection components, we are aware of all the capabilities of it. It's an advantage UK has not on Suffren-class french subs.

I think this battle will all depend on how Pompus the French General is and how many Bodkin Arrows the English & Welsh have.. Lol
You mean British
I hear the Scots would ally with the EU even Iran before england
@@lj4339 Thats because they seem to like being on the losing team. :)
@@BroadHobbyProjects losing team what about the battle of Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn
@@vloglifesubscribe That's two battles.
Scotland was conquered twice.
Spain: from while I have popcorn, my army conquers Gibraltar hehe
Gibraltar español 🇪🇦
That would be a very short lived gain
@@JstZelda España como Gibraltar y no al revés. Pero Gibraltar español
It would be relatively easy to get Spain on the side of France with the offer of returning Gibraltar. That would violate the rules of the scenario but it would be possible.
@@danmorgan3685 that's what Hitler tried to do in WW2 though notice how it didn't work and it was sieged during the American revolution but still held out.
The big deciding factor is the timing of the initial aggression and who declare war first, if france want's to fight the UK it will start to mass it's ship and artillery near the UK and will target it's harbor full of warship and it's airbase as soon as the war is declared with no time to even be on alert in UK side and on the other hand if britain declare war first it will have done the same.
The initial aggression is the key factor in who will win with one side prepared to wage a war with it's assets well placed and the other in confusion of why the other side is attacking them and with not every ship and plane ready to fight as they might be in maintenance.
Despite the recent commercials issues, we loved each other since 1066.Trust me i'm from the old Duché de Normandie. I know both belligerents

Canada: *Declares Civil War*
“Unlikely war” ah yes an unlikely war that has occurred 30 times already
Yeah but quite a long time ago.
the way the world is now it’s very unlikely
And one of them took 100 years
It's actually been over 50 times
What were the military implications of the Evergiven?
"The Eurofighter has better agility, speed, acceleration" HAHAHHA what a funny joke...
who is this guy LOL?
The eurofighter is an absolute joke.
First UK operational Crowsnest equipped ASW merlin took to the skys this week
I hope there's never a war between us again. Much prefer it when we're allies
2:19 I think you forgot at least one important military air base in France, but I'm not disclosing where it is.
Let's settle this in the old fashioned way: hold a football match and let the hooligans fight it out for the win
France would probably win on the field but I pretty sure The UK would win decisively in the stands.
That's not even fair for the French. Britain is renowned for its hooligans
depend if the French can engage their CRS in the fight then...
@Alphavortex108 Not sure, they'd probably be more likely to fight each other.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LaManche Classico , update this one every year :D Hello from Czechia
Isn’t it insane that one tiny island actually puts up a fight with much bigger countries you’ve got to give the uk some respect
the only thing insane about the UK is that they still live in an outdated feudal system in the 21st century
@@thorstenmarquardt7274 I’m not nerdy and weird so I don’t understand your language sorry 😂
@@oliverbellwood8408 let me dumb it down so that even you can understand it: England deserves no respect because they still cowardly bow down to royals today.
@@thorstenmarquardt7274 let me be the smart one for the second the royalists barely have any word in the country, the government did, the French did the same until not long ago they abolished the monarchy as a whole, also, the royals are one of the main reasons the uk have holiday income if someone went on holiday because they wanted to learn about kings and queens they would instantly think of Britain, are you mad that a tiny little island dominated the world? Brits are more independent and more successful than France or anyone in the eu that’s a fact, sorry is all this hurting your feelings? 🤫 give the uk respect 🇬🇧
Quite topical right now.
