Does your country worship any mortal as much as we Yanks worship

I live on george washingtons estate, literally a few blocks away from the standing structure where he lived. I wasn't under the impression that anyone worshipped him. people visit the gift shop around here and take pictures just like any other tourist attraction.

what is he famous for?

Yes, Charles De Gaulle.

We were losing Algeria, politicians wanted to give it up, acknowledging it was a trend in history. But the Army didn't want, so we were very near a military coup.

De Gaulle was military, but not as obsessive as the others. He became President of the Council, then President of the Republic, promising he would defeat Algeria's independists.

But then he realised it wasn't working, so he gave up Algeria. There wasn't a military coup because the military respected his decision, and he had the authority, promising to sentence to death any general that would disagree. (there were assassination attempts though, like the one remembered as the "Petit Clamard")

So yeah he saved our ass, maintained democracy while we could have had a Franco or Hitler. But he's quite over-rated. Just a new Napoleon. I think we should worship Robespierre more (there's not a single Robespierre street in Paris, while De Gaulle has the biggest turnabout in posh districts), because Robespierre was about fair chance and equal opportunities, while De Gaulle was about national pride, sovereignty and authority.

He made the USA by gaining independence from the Queen of England. Or so was I told.

Pic is the apotheosis of Washington from the US Capitol. It literally depicts Washington's ascension to the pantheon of gods.

King not Queen and it was actually the parliament he initially wanted rid of, not the monarchy.

Still, American myths about Washington are things like his inability to tell a lie.
Meanwhile Canada's first PM is remembered mostly for his legendary alcohol consumption.

that's abraham lincoln, honest abe m8.

Not really. People like Bismarck who were responsible for the unification of the German states are seen as the cunning and opportunist statesmen they actually were.

I flew from New York to Berlin, with a layover in Paris. When I landed in Charles de Gaulle airport (which does not seem to actually be in paris, but that's what I tell people), I was quite amused to see on google maps that we were on "Rue de New York".

oh, didn't get it without the "d"
also we write Médicis here.
yeah, thought about it, but the Loi Salique wouldn't allow us to have a true Queen.

Arguably our greatest historical zenith was under a queen, can't complain really.
