"There have been 53 major wars in Europe France had been a belligerent in 49 of them. In 185 battles that France had fought over the past 800 years, their armies had won 132 times, lost 43 times and drawn only 10. Giving the French military the best record of any country in the world." BBC History
The Battle of Arcole, is what I think to be one of Napoleon's finest moments during teh Italians Campaign. Charging in the front while holding a banner and weilding no weapon. Inspiring courage among the troops from behind and risking to be hit by volleys of musket fire, and dangerous bombardments of cannons. Napoleon was truely a genius.

Before the fall of the First empire, France has often fought alone against the rest of Euope with at its hights Napoleon, LouisXIV and Charlemange challenging Europe and won most of the times.

@SSUstufRudel wasnt grapeshot that at the yime was used on ships canister is wat ur talkin about was lethal at very close range grape shot was a bit bigger cannister they made to wipe out groups of infantry at a time
from the bbc they said they lost 40 battles you havent even reached 40, ive placed on that other video wars that the french won more then youve posted here, i accidently post it on the other by mistake
@bh5496 French army > British army French culture > British culture French food > British food French Language > English langauge French History > British history France > Great Brittain
You dont know an gram about french millitary history ehh, british propaganda is your point du veu ehh ;^) the french army was from the late medieval till WW2 the world greatest army. Brittain had the greatest navy but well your army what war did they fight without paying others to fight or standed to fight you know that crushing french defeat in WW2 was as well yours? France nearly always stood alone to fight Europe
If we are counting the results, like you say on the 100 years war than the french lost the 7 years war ( at least in the british point of view) and the french also lost the napoleonic wars and the franco prussian war.
...Montmirail/Vauchamps, Champaubert, Chateau Thierry, Ligny, Bautzen, Dresden, and Lützen. I think I already have outnumbered your examples of french defeats :-) If you not are satisfied, I can give some more examples from other wars.
First Pirna - Russians defeated French (St. Cyr) Second Katzbach - Prussians defeated French (Macdonald) Second Pirna - Russians defeated French (Vandamme) Kulm - Russians, Prussians, Austrians defeated French (Vandamme) Dennewitz - Prussians defeated French and allies (Ney) Wartenberg - Prussians defeated French and allies (Bertrand) Möckern - Allies defeated French (Marmont) Leipzig - Russians, Prussians, Austrians defeated French (NAPOLEON)
the so called world's greatest army has a impressive records of defeats between the late middle ages and WW2.And you say France standed alone? how many times didn't france had important allies fighting for her? 7 years war for example, Austria, Russia, Spain and Sweden are a good number of allies to have.
2nd Krasnoi - Russians defeated French (Roguet and NAPOLEON) Plechenitzi - Russians defeated French (Oudinot) Möckern - Russians and Prussians defeated the French (Eugène) Luckau - Russians and Prussians defeated French (Oudinot) Gross-Beeren - Russians and Prussians defeated French (Oudinot)
you were the one who posted the BBC thing about battles that the french won and that they have the most impresive military record in history, i completely crushed that with loads of battles lost by the french(more than you said they had) i don't think that sending me somewhere else is a way of winning this discussion now since many time i proven you wrong and you just change your point and arguments.France may have many interestign things and be a great place but britain is better.
La Rothière - Russians, Austrians, Prussians, Bavarians defeated French (NAPOLEON) Bar-sur-Aube - Austrians, Russians, Bavarians defeated French (Oudinot) Lâon - Prussians, Russians defeated French (NAPOLEON) Fismes - Prussians defeated French (Marmont) Arcis-Sur-Aube - Allies defeated French (NAPOLEON) La Fère Champenoise - Russians defeated French (Marmont and Mortier) Paris - Allies defeated French ( Marmont and Mortier)
Your list isnt even impressive. Its ussually the french facing 3 other nations and outnumbering them 3 to 1 In the napoleonic ages hundreds of battles were fought, only these few you mentioned were lost. Even during the french and indian war, the french were outnumbered in every battle but could claim victory more then the british could. Only when brittain send an new army, to get to Quebec the french lost, even through they resisted braverly
Hundred years war, in th end a victory for the french but for most of it a english victory, 7 years war, in th end britain won tough, and therefore doesn't count as victry, WWI and WWII britain and USA helped a lot and french were humiliated, French revolution was fought between frenchmen how can you make a win out of it? Algerian revolution lead to the algerian independence. and you might as well see that many of the so called victories you said were madfe with foreing support.
Do you know anything about the french army? Did you ever visited/ studied the french culture? Est-ce que tu parles francais? Did you learn anything french history? Do you have at least 1 IQ?
on the language i agree that french sounds good but English is not only more useful to know nowadays but also a stronger language, in my opnion stronger languages are far more interesting,for example german. on the food France does win and with honours, but France isn't bette than Great Britain.(and please, don't say the french army is better than the british, just look at their military records, more loses and ties than victories, and evne tough they had great victories with napoleon they lost.
franco prussian war war of the 6th and 7th but it was unfair Napoleon was against the world (and winning the first 5 world wars) but in the franco prussian war Napoleon III was a bitch nowhere close to hes uncles glory
Nearly everything before Napoleon was france on its own facing Europe, Hundred years wars soo the french won at the end thats whats matters so for WW2. 7 years wars yes the french lost New-France and India to Brittain, but gained more lands in Europe from the austrians. WW1 WTF if you count america its cause your american; Brittain, France and Germany were the real ones fighting. Algerian revolution yes, but the french army won, the french politacy was stupid
Poitier, Azincourt ,7 Years war, Franco-Prussian war, WW2.I like the French people but their military records aren't very impressive. French histroy is very interesting and important on the cultural areas, but still the british have made more practical stuff and have a more impressive history. on the Culture part it is a close call but the British win in my opnion for being more tradional and mainting something like the monarchy untill today, showing how their traditions are important.
Yeah? So how about during the Napoleonic Wars when the British were the only ones to stand between Napoleon and absolute victory? I am talking about between 1800 and 1810 before he attacked Russia, when he got his ass kicked at Aboukir and Trafalgar. And then how come France lost control over India in the 18th century? Yup, the brits again. Actually in most colonial affairs, the French came out second.
Well Brits were the best to pay other country to fight for them. They were abstolutely not able to defeat Napoleon. But they succeed to evite an invasion of their Island. If you want to talk about battle we can talk about brit's defeats during revolution wars, during american independance war, during Louis XIV and Louis XII war, weel and i don't tlak about the 100 years war and hastings ^^
Lol these happened either over 200 years in the past, were won with foreign aid (in ww1&2 France never looked good alone) or were against inferior countries. seems the french could handle a sword but can't use a rifle xD
So what? We looked good alone are you stupid? Only 2 countries did an almost total war. And that's france and germany!! And both got only conquered by eachother.
Haha. Why do french tanks have rear mirrors? So they can see the frontline. Which great war did France ever win? Napoleonic wars: nope, Franco-Prussian war: nope, WW1: 90% of the time on own territory, I don't call that a victory, WW2: here, have some Vaseline, Indochine: beaten by underequipped savages. Nothing against French people, wine, food, landscapes etc. but please, Britannia rules!
Wars against Great Britain - like USA independence war (USA become independent) only thanks French victory about Great Britain. Napoleonic wars against Austria and Russia - Austerlitz battle - France won. Napoleonic war against Prussia - Jena and Ausertedt battles - France won. WW1 most difficult battles won French army - battles like Marna and Verdun! And USA lost war against Vietcong. England lost hundred year war against France.
Britania rules so much it was fully invaded by a french , norwegian invasions and germans had plans too for it. Britain land army was the worst of all the major nations.
"There have been 53 major wars in Europe

Lol these happened either over 200 years in the past, were won with foreign aid (in ww1&2 France never looked good alone) or were against inferior countries. seems the french could handle a sword but can't use a rifle xD
So what? We looked good alone are you stupid? Only 2 countries did an almost total war. And that's france and germany!! And both got only conquered by eachother.
Roman Legion > French Legion
Roman Culture > Post Gaulic Culture
Haha.
Why do french tanks have rear mirrors? So they can see the frontline.
Which great war did France ever win? Napoleonic wars: nope, Franco-Prussian war: nope, WW1: 90% of the time on own territory, I don't call that a victory, WW2: here, have some Vaseline, Indochine: beaten by underequipped savages.
Nothing against French people, wine, food, landscapes etc. but please, Britannia rules!
France was great America is only a shadow in the glory of Napoleon, and I'm an American
punditkitchenfailure sorry but Napoleon>Britannia plus now America is better than what's left of Britannia just saying ;)
Wars against Great Britain - like USA independence war (USA become independent) only thanks French victory about Great Britain. Napoleonic wars against Austria and Russia - Austerlitz battle - France won. Napoleonic war against Prussia - Jena and Ausertedt battles - France won. WW1 most difficult battles won French army - battles like Marna and Verdun! And USA lost war against Vietcong. England lost hundred year war against France.
Britania rules so much it was fully invaded by a french , norwegian invasions and germans had plans too for it. Britain land army was the worst of all the major nations.
