Are you being serious?

Holy shit, i've got Nigel riled up!

Hang on Laddie, lemme respond to your memes

>Baroque, neo-gothic, neo-classical mashup

None of those are inherently brittish and the victorian mashup of these is severely overrated.

>Pax Britannica

A Meme

>Every nation prospered under the above

India and China would disagree.

>Steam engines, trains, aeroplanes, cars, computing machines, etc, etc.

Were all present on France by then, plus all the achievements on art and culture which outclass poor old england by miles.

Admit it Nigel, you are a Meme.

Dead serious laddie, dead fucking serious.

>>1498125

I never said that Nigel, I said the French already had those by the time the Belle Epóque rolled in plus were the biggest center of culture and artistic achievement on the world, something in which you bongs can never compete.

>>1498151
Keep speaking that English, Marcel.

OP is not French.

It's written "Belle Époque".

>>1498089
Are YOU being serious? Victorian Britain loses in almost every category aside from "muh fukken empire and shit nigga"

>>1498487
Yep, Dirty Shlomo here, but i wanted to trigger Nigel a little more so i didn't say anything about it...

>>1498505
He's too absorbed on his autism to understand that.

>>1498125
>>1498053

>Baroque, neo-gothic, neo-classical
All French styles.

>Pax Britannica
Complete meme.

>Steam engines, trains, aeroplanes, cars, computing machines, etc, etc.
All of those but the train (which isn't an actual invention, just a steam car on rails) were invented by Frenchmen...
