The last time that happened was around 1938.
enslaving the rest of europe
I read a book with this plot line once.....
I’m going to dust this one off:
The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty’s Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).
In the first year, “s” will be used instead of the soft “c.” Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard “c” will be replaced with “k”. Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik emthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced by “f”. This will make words like fotograf” 20 persent shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent “e”s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th” by “z” and “w” by “ v”.
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining “ou”, and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer.
Ze drem vil finali kum tru.

It’s no great surprise. The two have strong economic, infrastructural and cultural ties now.
This time, I say let the Krauts have the Frogs. They saved us during the Revolution, we saved them twice in the 20th Century, they owe us.
So the lesson Germany took from the World Wars was to not use military force in trying to conquer Europe. Of course, it’s still trying to conquer Europe.
The Frogs are so good at surrendering before a shot is even fired...
Sounds Vichy to me.
Nothing like fixing a failed policy by doubling down on it.
Ten kings will give The Beast their power.........
I’m quite sure the French Bankers and German Bankers see this as an opportunity/solution....just as did the Vichy French and the Nazi’s........
