American is basically English, just dumbed down. More phonetic, easier to spell - less brain required. Game Boy Color, as with a lot of things, was likely to be sold in greater quantity to America than England, so it makes sense to market it in a way they can actually pronounce it.
American language and how it differs from actual English is hilarious.

>>1928535
Why didnt the french invade Britain during the middle ages? William proved it could be done and France had the population and resources to pull it off, they certainly paid for a number of small invasion one of which put Henry Tudor on the throne. Why didnt they seize the chance? they certainly had many, what with the brits constant infighting over their shit isles.

They did in 1326. Of course no one remembers it, as Brits spend all their saliva arguing how Guillaume was not really a conqueror, and even less French, and he basically was born in Hampshire. But ye, the French invaded the shit out of England in 1326. And that was the premisce for the HYW.

The question remains on why ddnt they do it more often. But I think French naval tactics have not always been top notch for naval battles. Good individuals made some great skirmishers, but for instance at l'Ecluse (first battle of the HYW, which aimed at destroying the english fleet to be able to invade england then), the French admiral chained his boats together.

>>1929609
Because France got the HRE at the east and the iberian at the south, massive invasion like the english invasion of france was only possible becasue england got no real threat at the border.

>>1929609
The French ruled England for most of the Middle Ages
There were two big factions in France:
-The Plantagenets on the West (Angevin Empire)
-The Valois on the East (Kingdom of France)

The Plantagenets owned England from 1154 to 1485 and prevented the Valois from taking it

>>1929609
Complicated, and for what? England wasn't very rich or relevant until they caught up with France after the Napoleonic wars.

>>1932218
so the normans were 100% french for speaking French/being culturally French but the Plant kings like Henry V (who demanded English be spoken in court) were100% French too

>>1932495
you lost countless battles and almost the entire war , if only Henry V didn't die

France almost lost to a country with a 10th of the population and could NEVER invade in kind

holy shit france is the most pathetic nation that has ever existed, the more I think about it the sadder it gets

if England had as many people as France did in that period, it would probably have conquered all of Europe.

Because most of the high and late medieval period in France, were French kings trying regain, or maintain, control of French territory that was under the control of the Plantagenet (and successor) dynasties. Who cares about some shitty little island when there's territory that you are nominally the suzerain of being ruled by your greatest rival dynasty?

So did the Gauls though. That's what started Caesar's campaign even ! The Germanic tribes on the other hands, sacked a city that was the ghost of its past.

>Germans conquered Rome

No, they were merely rewarded with the title of "Patricius Romanorum", which implied them protecting Rome in it's time of need. Basically, they were guard dogs with a sanctified purpose, or so they've been taught to think.

Also, it was the Huns who've delivered the killing blow to Rome, the Germanic tribes have merely raped it's desiccated corpse.

The greatest general France ever produced, as emperor during it's zenith as a nation surrendered to old Albion, not once... but twice.

The Scientists, Philosophers & Writers of sweet Angleterre are recognized the world over as not only being superior to the French but superior to all others.

Despite a vastly smaller nation, (and population historically), less fertile and mineral rich land, the only time a "french" force was able to truly defeat the Anglo-Saxon was nearly a thousand years ago.
>When Scandinavia had ravaged the north and killed many of England's best fighting men, William the Bastard still relied on conscripts from the rest of Europe and indeed Christendom, as well as papal approval to beat a greatly beleaguered exhausted Anglo army.

^Compare this to the innumerable times the English have had there way with the french, their lands and their women.

thats actually not a great list for french victories over the english, 3 of those wars were french defeats (or at least england got what england wanted) and one was a short lived peace before hostilities resumed and france was eventually crushed.

and the war of devolution was not a unqualified success the triple alliance achieved its goal of limiting french expansion without having to actively intervene

>>1935369
yeah the french got beaten at waterloo by a scratch built army, hastily assembled, the french army consisted almost entirely of veteran troops returning to the colours when napleon called for them, the british army of some hastily rasied units and the troops that werent in the US burning down washington or stumbling around a swamp. to the british were added whatever forces the dutch and belgians could scrape together.

and yet the 'british' army despite being far from veteran -quatre bras had been many of its troops first battle - stood off the french army for the day, fighting it to a bloody standstill and still being in a fit condition to charge and pursue when the prussians made it to the fight.

The French empire could be said to be the same, no? If an empire is determined by towns and cities then, all empires are tiny. The Mongolian empire would be nothing, the Russian empire (Indeed, the Russian state itself) would be puny. All territory was the soverign property of Britain, owned and governed by Parliament.

English elites certainly have Norman ancestors. Your average Nigel is virtually 100% Anglo-Saxon-Celtic mutt.

Neither the modern French nor the modern English even vaguely resemble their medieval ancestors. But it is very certainly true that the Normans more closely resembled the ancestors of the French than the ancestors of the English.
>normans didn't have a separate kingdom and monarchy to the 'french'
They didn't, the Duke of Normandy was a subject of the King of France until William conquered the English throne. And even then if I'm not mistaken the Normans continued to pay nominal fealty to France.

The British empire was a paper tiger of the highest order.

France on the other hand was the absolute champion of Europe for about a thousand years right up until 100 two. Serving as a bulwark against the Anglos, the Krauts and their vile designs. As well as serving as the vanguard of European culture that lifted the rest of Europe out of their unenlightened mudhuts.
