I think they won at the battle of hastings in something like 1066.

Joan of Arc helped garner some victories for the French.....so they put her to death.

First let me say that I hate the French.

However, one must give credit when it is due. Charles the Hammer (Charlegmagnes grandfather) turned the tide of Islamic expansion at the battle of Tours sometimes in the 700's (738?). The religion of peace was raping and pillaging their way over the Pyrenhees. They attacked on horseback and ran smack dab into heavy Frank infantry. Charles the Hammer repelled wave after wave of cavalry attack and then his infantry stomped the fallen horsemen to death. When night fell both sides made their way to their respective camps. Charles went to resume the battle the next day only to find the whipped curs had run away. That marked the high tide of Islamic expansion. His grandson went on to reunify Europe.

Of course, I'm not sure that the French are the true descendantsof the Franks. The Franks were as physically large as the Germani and the Celts (Gauls)which is no longer true. I think there was a lot of intermingling in the centuries to follow.

Well the French forced Washington to surrender and made him sign a document confessing that he was a war criminal. Of course that was at the beginning of the Seven Year's War. Then of course, they came back and won the Siege of Yorktown for him (folks, no way Washington could have won without them). Washington never called them cheese eating surrender monkeys for some reason. Maybe he knew more about them than this fellow Goldberg?

Now guys, let's give the French their due. They are not the same country they were pre-WWII. At that time, they were a superpower - and deservedly so. Their foreign legion (even today) was impressive. And they didn't garner a huge empire by being weak sisters. So just because the current crop of french don't seem to deserve the hard won victories of their forbears, don't slam the forbears.
