How difficult do you think it would be to invade France?

Question

Obviously France has been invaded many times, but in the 21st century, do you think it would still be pretty easy?

Yes, I have heard of both D-Day and Normandy.

D-Day was a successful invasion but the British failed to secure Normandy as a part of the UK.

Obviously it's not so easy... If such be the case, they can call NATO ! France is member of this organization since its creation.

According to official sources.... They have a very good place in the world like British troops; there french legion is very famous... Even our Marines know that... and they work together in French Guyana.

In Afghanistan, I can read : french soldiers are efficient.

Answer 5

all joking aside from france being a bunch of flag waving nobodies, they have had a long history of warfare (not doing so well this past few centuries though). their terrain is easy to invade, no real logistic problems besides the pyranee mountains. but, well, france is a nuclear power, that sort of throws a wrench in the whole thing.

If you examine the evidence of history, you will observe that one of the easiest European countrys to invade is France!..Reason? Incredible military incompetence..The French have a very deserved reputation for "charging in the wrong direction!"If it wasnt so serious, it would be hilariously funny!..Check out the military bungles of Charles{napolean}De Gaulle, Even with overwhelming odds in his favor..He still managed to loose the battle, however!..He lost "gloriously"for France, and they thought he was a hero!!..look at their battles in Algeria?..constatantly beaten literally by spear chucking arabs , look at their history in Vietnam, They tried to turn it into another "La belle France"And ended up being booted out!..{so did America}..Invading France?..Give me 35 girl scouts, a second hand bus, and Dick Cheney with his "shotty gun" and i'll take it in a week! ..

Answer 8

Look to history. Germany has invaded France three times, all successfully, in the last 150 years. Why would this century be any different? Can you think of a military engagement, won by France, since Napoleon?
