Why would he be butthurt over winning TWO world wars? You're not making any sense Hans.

Gentlemen's agreement that Christian nations didn't conquer other Christian nations. Which was in force until the Jews gained power in Russia through the Bolsheviks and in Britain through the Rothschilds

You mean annex?
Because you can't annex another great power just because you won a chance victory in a non-total war

Also, German troops were absolytly terrified by French partisans in the few places they occupied
No way they could have occupied the whole country
The Rape of Belgium in WW1 was a pre-emptive action against partisans caused by the shock the German army experienced in 1871

>t. delusional Frog

Occupying France is something Germany is really good at. Years and years of experience.

Because you can't annex a country of 40 million of distinct cultural differences in the real world

France is even better at occupying Germany, Hansel

It wasn't independent
It was annexed by France

wtf is this the Kraut butthurt general thread

>>2056051
This. Imagine all the wasted money trying to annex a big country with a population notorious for rioting and with values much different than those of the German empire. Its beyond retarded and op should go back to >>>/v/.

>>2055517
The British were still into the whole balance of power thing and letting Prussia have all of France was really not going to fly by them.

>>2056005
Dunno senpai
The most time Germany held France was 4 years
Meanwhile, France occupied Germany for 7 years between 1806 and 1813, and the Rhur for 10 years between 1920 and 1930

That being said, no one beats the American who have occupied it for 7 decades and still are right now

>>2055517
ok now a real answer:
hardly because bismarck feared that russia or the eternal anglo would join the war. i read about it a few weeks ago. austria doesnt played a major role because of the war of 1866, but the other two players were still intact, and the unification of germany itself was a disbalance of the european concert, because with austria defeated, france defeated and prussia become germany the balance has shifted, and when the germans have risen more claim on france, russia and uk might declared war on germany
plus unification of germany was the major goal of this war and this was accomplished

They did.
But there was no point keeping it after the war indemnity was paid.

>>2055517
Alsace alone was already a pain in the ass for the newly formed german empire. Annexing France was simply impossible. Germany tried to keep France as weak as possible, and succeeded in doing so for a few years.
>>
>>2055517
Read a book about Napoleon. The French were tactically beaten but mostly by risky gambles. The French army was bigger because their culture was more advanced in terms of government and military structure.
>>
>>2055517
Because Germans are noble and French are weak n*ggers that wanted to destroy German after WWI
>>
>>2056072

But annexed as part of Spain because it always has been. Nice try again, Artur,
>>
The entirety of 19th century European politics was preventing another general war from occuring. No way a freshly unified Germany would provoke the other great powers into war by trying to take over most of the continent.
>>
>>2055624
Napoleon was just retaking france's rightful land and setting up protectorate nations to protect those who couldnt defend themselves
>>
>>2056437
>Because Germans are noble

Bismark was noble*
Prussians were cunts and wanted to dismantle France in after the Napoleonic Wars but Russians and Brits told them to fuck off

>>2055809
>German troops were absolytly terrified by French partisans in the few places they occupied
>all this French delusion
The French resistance wouldn't have even existed without Britain organising it.
