400 years ago the french were our allies. We fought beside them in their wars. Correction: 400 years ago the French Monarchy and Aristocracy were our allies. Subsequent to their being killed or driven out during the French Revolution, the remaining French do not seem to have been worth much

They weren't worth anything then either.
Doesn't matter what government they have. The french will leave you high and dry the first chance they get.

"400 years ago the French Monarchy and Aristocracy were our allies.

The English hadn't even established the colony at Jamestown yet. The United States of America didn't exist until about 170 years later.
