Germany > France

The US-Britain relationship is pretty terrific. You tried to stop us from becoming independent, tried to burn our capital to the ground, tried to split our country in half during our civil war, then we got super rich and your government realized "hey, the Americans aren't so bad" and we've dominated the globe ever since.

>French german friendship

Doesn't exist. We just sit in the same boat. They don't like us. No one likes us.
Now please delete this thread.

The Brits built and sheltered ships for the Confederacy during the Civil War.

My wife is Japanese and I'm a full blooded American. I love it. It's rather beautiful really. I met her parents and they're like 88 years old.

>>72390068
The British government didn't.

It's ironic but true Islam is a religion of peace

>>72390068
Bollocks, the British people were extremely anti slavery and the government would have gotten decimated for supporting an independence movement based entirely on slavery.

The "French-German friendship" is just France coming up with some new scheme to curb Germany, failing as usual, then acting like they didn't mean it while Germany remains oblivious like a dumb ox the entire time "fracne yu are my greadest ally :-DDDDDDD"

>>72390155
The CSS Alabama, the CSS Alexandria, and many other Confederate ships were built in Britain.

>>72389406
Now imagine if they just had split Alsace-Lorraine back in 1870 instead.

By the British government or by private British businesses?

>france wouldn't let germany unify unless they accepted the euro
>france thought this would equalise things if everyone had to share the same currency as germany

>>72390274
The French aren't known for being smart economists.

>let's make this highly industrialized export-oriented nation use the same currency as us! That will surely stop them from dominating our economy!

>>72390244
British private ventures built the ship with approval from British elite in a non-official sense

Britain would've been A-OK with joining the Confederacy in war against the US if France was willing to cooperate, but that never materialized

>>72390393
from my studies it was the opposite; napoleon iii was willing to join if the british did.

>>72390233
Alsace-Lorraine was never the reason. Imagine being the top dog of Europe for hundreds of years and over night instead of 500 tiny easily controllable powerless states you have an industrial giant as your neighbour, with a far larger population, army and economy. The french could never accept it. By the late early 1900's Alsace-Lorraine was as relevant as Dokdo i. e. it was a meme to rile up nationalist plebs. A French-German cooperation could only exist after both countries were BTFO in WW2.

You wanted the South's cotton.

>>72390648
We started growing cotton in India when the war started

they were willing to trade with the south
they are anti-slaves for themselves but would do business with a slave owning country

equality as a means

>>72390663
Still traded with the south because if was so damn cheap.

Do French men have more German gfs or do German men have more French gfs?

>>72390720
The Brits figured out that Indian/Egyptian cotton could more than make up for the loss of Southern cotton, especially since they were relying on American corn and wheat at the same time.
