In World War II, France is often judged by the 1940 German offensive. This is unfair in some aspects. France had 3 armored divisions – Germany had 10, which was a decisive edge in one of the earliest mechanized campaigns in history.

Thats deceptive. France had THREE military treaties with Poland, all stating that France would come to her aid if she was attacked by Germany. One even spelled out in detail the number of troops she would use and the # of days needed for of mobilization. Germany stripped the Seigfreid line to invade Poland. The Poles fought a losing battle with elan and valor, knowing that they need only hold out for a few days because, per the treaty, French armor would soon be slicing into the heart of Germany.

France never even mobilized.

Everything honorable about France died in the trenches of WWI. Take the French propaganda somewhere else. France always betrays her allies. Every. Single. Time. They are Weasels.

After the war of 1812, they worked back door deals with Britain during the Treaty of Paris process.
