Answer 3

You think 'the English' invaded Mexico? That they did any more than sell arms to the Southern States in your Civil War? That 'the Free French and English invaded France at the start of WW2' (1939)? Do you think that the BEF evacuated from Dunkirk for any reason other than that the French and Belgian armies on their flanks had collapsed before the German attack?
What has France done for you recently?

Answer 4

There's some truth to you're question.

But then the British historically dislike the French and we have been 'betraying' each other for over 1000 years.

The Yank's on the other hand have only existed for a couple of hundred years and historically have betrayed everyone, especially their own.

You won't find two countries on the planet that don't have, or were born from, some form of betrayal in their history but I think, as anyone with half a brain can see, that America has already taken the crown for worst offender.

Answer 5

Interesting, can't comment on some of the things you said because I don't know.
Dunkirk. The scenerio:- Lets say you have thousands of US troops and troops from other countries all waiting to be evacuted on a beach. The enemy are getting ever closer. You try to evacute as many troops as you can. Lots of boats from the USA turn up. Whose troops are you going to take first? Well I'll tell you, you evacuate as many of your own first and then take as many of other troops as you can afterwards. And guess what that's exactly what happened!!!! Many thousands of French troops were saved from the beach at Dunkirk but many thousands were also left behind. France is their country and YES they should be defending it and not be first in the queue to be evacuated!!!!!!!!!
The English and Free French did not invade France at the beginning of WW2 The Brits went over in support of France, but the French Army collasped as it was poorly led and suffered from extremely poor moral. You forget both Britian and France together declared war on Germany.
Re the civil war:- Yes Britain was supplying the South during the war because we needed the cotton for our cotton mills. Many hundreds of thousands of people were employed in cotton mills in Britain. Yes and we almost went to war with the Northern states after some British ships were boarded, but war was averted.

The Suez crisis started when Egypt decided to nationalise the canal as I beleive (and I could be wrong here)it was owned by Britain and France.

Answer 6

numerous themes here. American spelling grow to be altered on the subject of the time of Benjamin Franklin basically so individuals ought to teach their Independence of the English. some archaic kind like 'gotten' are nevertheless used yet disappeared in English an prolonged time in the past. the two languages began on an identical factor (Pilgrim Fathers), however the yank kind grow to be biased in direction of West u . s . a . (the muse of the yank accessory is Bristol). the two have long previous via evolutionary strategies which pass away them replaced, yet recognisably appropriate. maximum individuals, of course, don't think in evolution.

Answer 7

To quote a wise American (Homer Simpson), the French are "Cheese eating surrender monkeys". To think that the UK only recently finished paying debts from WW2 to the US is a disgrace. The whole of Europe should be eternally grateful to the British. At least we did not make them pay us for saving the world! Have the yanks been teaching Brussels a thing or two?

Answer 8

English often act as total cowards.
Our nation beat them with bamboo spears in 1945-1946 besting their best, freshest combat units.

English heads on bamboo pikes gives them jelly-knees.
A lot like a Vietnamese with an American head.

My region has been fighting the British for 350 years, the Dutch 400. Now we fight the Americans and their State Colonial Corporatism.
Myanmar is your latest choice for acquisition we see.

Answer 9

The British Empire was a NWO project for hundreds of years - the Civil War was an attempt by Old Money who feared an powerhouse America as threat to their monopoly on control - this was also the cause of the War of 1812 -AKA The Second War of Independence when they tried to reinstate Crown rule on the 'Colonies'.
Limeys were unpopular in America since then. It was the deceptive polices of Woodrow Wilson which brought US into WWI on the side of Britain and France - the former still being highly unpopular due to their actions in the 19th Century and their arrogance towards the "colonials".
it's hilarious the way they still spin Dunkirk evacuation as a victory - talk about a 'State' of denial.

Answer 10

Get your facts right, then post a question.
If the French had actually continued to fight (not the troops, the gererals) Dunkirk would not have been necessary, and after all they were Britsh boats.
