Continental, land powers.

To invade Britain, you need a navy. And Britain's navy has always been the most powerful.

>Another alternative French policy was to seek a rapprochement with Germany. In May 1919 the diplomat René Massigli was sent on several secret missions to Berlin. During his visits Massigli offered on behalf of his government to revise the territorial and economic clauses of the upcoming peace treaty.[34] Massigli spoke of the desirability of "practical, verbal discussions" between French and German officials that would lead to a "collaboration Franco-allemande".[34] Furthermore, Massagli told the Germans that the French thought of the "Anglo-Saxon powers", namely the United States and British Empire, to be the major threat to France in the post-war world. He argued that both France and Germany had a joint interest in opposing "Anglo-Saxon domination" of the world and warned that the "deepening of opposition" between the French and the Germans "would lead to the ruin of both countries, to the advantage of the Anglo-Saxon powers".[35]

The Germans rejected the French offers because they considered the French overtures to be a trap to trick them into accepting the Versailles treaty "as is" and because the German foreign minister, Count Ulrich von Brockdorff-Rantzau thought that the United States was more likely to reduce the severity of the peace terms than France.[35] In the final event it proved to be Lloyd George who pushed for more favourable terms for Germany.

Every fucking time french were right about almost everything.

>>2270821
This is what the anglo actually believes

>>2270803
France was always a state that has relied on war and submission to generate a higher standard of living, whereas in Germany, your lifestyle was depending on how much you contributed to society.

France needed Germany as an enemy, otherwise it would have run bankrupt. It still relies on the German economy and the Euro, otherwise it would have been a 3rd world shithole long ago.

>>2271663
What exactly is untrue about that statement?

>>2271665
Man it's like I'm in bizzaro world

>>2270803

Because France and Germany share a physical border, which has been the source for more tension.

>>2270884
This

If France had kept her natural border after Napoleon's defeat, WW1 and WW2 would never have happened, and the French and the Germans would have united to free Europe from the Anglos.

>>2271665
>. It still relies on the German economy
LMAO

It is the contrary, the day we quit the EU is the day Germany and Europe collapse.

Euro was made for the Germans, and the EU is just Germany stealing cheap workers from Eastern Europe.

You'd think the fact their language was made relevant by a country that exists because they lost a war to peasants in 1783 would make the British stay quiet, but somehow it inflates their ego....

>>2270803
most of people here seem to forget that for a long time, there was no such thing as germany.

If you look at the powers in europe. there is france and england. then there is spain, which often joined against england. Austria never had any decent navy, same goes for Russia. Prussians used all their money to keep dispropotionately big land army (therefore no navy). There also smaller states like Netherlands (fought against england a lot) and Portugal (were friends with england).

Also it was british policy to pretty much play the whole Europe like a fiddle so that nobody would become too strong, and they never really did anything that would enrage the whole europe and force them to make a coalition

>>2275323

yeah english's popularity as a language has absolutely nothing to do with just over a quarter of the world's population being under english rule less than a hundred years ago

>>2275356
It really hasnt, deluded british faggot

>French replaced Latin as the most important language of diplomacy and international relations (lingua franca) in the 17th century. It retained this role until approximately the middle of the 20th century, when it was replaced by English as the United States became the dominant global power following the Second World War.[49][50]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language#History

Even at the height of the British Empire, French was still the international language
That's why in 1914, German officials adressed British ones in French ("chiffon de papier")
That's why when they landed in Europe during WW2, US troops had to use French to communicate with civilians in Italy, Netherlands and Germany

This can be explained by the fact that ruling over a bunch of irrelevant third world shitholes doesnt make your language relevant in the relevant world
Literally no one could speak English outside of the British Empire's uncivilized wastelands and the US before WW2
Meanwhile, it's now the lingua franca in the entire world because of the massive US cultural influence on a global scale since 1945

>>2275422

>calling me deluded

I'm not the one ranting autistically about the glory of the French language whilst refuting the possibility that a third of the world being under English rule might account somewhat for people around the world knowing English

Are you so dense that you didnt understand his post?
English is relevant right now because it's spoken as second language in Europe, Russia and East Asia, not because its spoken in Zimbabwe, Bengladesh and Guyana

Post-WW2 America is what brought English language to the civiilized world, not Britain

>>2273736
The French and Germans have always had the upper hand in land warfare, whereas the British on sea.

There's nothing new in this, cretin.

Britain had and still has the largest cultural power in the world. English is the world language due to England and its Empire.

If backwards colonies want to adopt the Napoleonic invention of right-side driving, they can.

This merely reflects the British belief that if they had surrendered in the summer of 1940 the war would have ended with an Allied defeat. Which technically is correct.

Sure, you might become rational when you speak German, but at what cost? German is objectively lacking in any kind of art, ambiguity, flow, etc. Why do you think French rap is so big and German is so Turkish/anglophonic? Hmm? It's because German literally decimates the beauty of language in return for being a ultra-rational machine.

In fact, French also has some superior logicalish properties. In French, you are not "hungry", you "have hunger". J'ai faim. You are not "afraid", you "have fear". J'ai peur. Ergo, the French believe that desires and emotions are merely baggage that we carry around and can be discarded so as to ascend to a higher level of thinking. Emotions are just objects that we have, not part of us. This is why French speakers are innately more logical than, say, the African languages like...Afrikaans and...Nigerian and...the Lion King language. See, speakers of African don't have any abstract words, but French is all abstract words. In fact, even simple words like "evidemment" and "à" and "bien sûr" are only able to be used abstractly. Puisque speaking Le French FORCES( !) you to think abstractly. It's true ! I've been learning French for a while, and my self-assessment of my IQ has skyrocketed, and my «friends» think I'm the shit. Why do you think French is required for philosophy PHDs? Sure, you might say, German, Greek, or Latin are equally required. Well duh. You learn German so you can bang out crude logical equations, you learn Greek so you can absorb the courage of the Grecian heroes, and you learn Latin because Latin is the most logical AND beautiful language (well, it sounds nicer when the French speak it. French is basically sexy Latin.).

So you can drive your little Volkswagen of mechanical Germanism, you Teutonic salopard. We wannabe Frenchies will continue to raise our IQs and our aesthetics simultaneously as we ride our ballon of Francophonoliciousness cinq semaines into the les étoiles.
