In my (arrogant) opinion, France went wussy -because- the Gauls were driven out....:)

They weren't quite driven out. The Bretons speak a Celtic language and are descended from Gauls.

Too true.

Unfortunately for their culture, those who remained were "Romanized", much like Great Britain's southern/eastern Celtic population.

My surname is the Latinized version of the ancient Pan-Celtic god Lug/Lugh. In Gaul, it was Lugus.

Thanks for chatting me up on my favorite historical subject....:)
