    Not really. France joined after our victory at Saratoga, when they realized we were going to win. The French monarchy wanted to capitalize on an opportunity to the British.
    Without France's ships though the British could have controlled the coastline. It was vital we kept those relatively clear.

    I do not see what difference it makes. That was the french monarchy and that has not been in place since the Bastille fell two hundred years ago.

    I thought the question was the last time the French did something. That point came to mind. I'm sure there are a few other things that they've helped with.

    They're well known for getting bogged down in a war in Algeria...

    Sarkozy is a puppet and a traitor.

    Quisling at work.

    It won't be long before he will be kicked out of power.

    Since when is martial superiority the determining factor of a civilization's greatness?

    Was Sparta or Athens a superior civilization?

    I know all the digs. I actually prefer that before Napoleon the last military campaign they won was Jean du Arc and they killed her for it.

    Its well established they are not very successful militarily but there are many ways to judge a civilization. Rome was certainly contributed much in terms of language and architecture but at the end of the day Athens and Aristotle were more influential on Western thought via the church up until about the 18th century.

    Athens repeatedly got the kicked out of it.

    Exactly.

    Actually worst, because he found no foreign troops on the homeland.
    He is actively calling for them to invade.
