If France was such a shitty colonizing power...

France conquered England in 1066 though

And England lost against the US in 1781 and 1812

No the US isn't an Anglo country.

try to say that with haiti or the french guyana
you can't

Unlike later colonies, there was little migration of people from Normandy to England. The Norman conquest was more Feudal dick waving than colonisation.

keep spamming the board shizo. maybe people will take you seriously sometime

Quebec though?

Reminder to everyone that the Normans were not French. If the Normans were French, then why did Etienne of Rouen in 1160s, in his work Draco Normannicus, call William the Conqueror's followers on the conquest "Danes"....please explain to me why your own "French" sources, written in Latin.....are calling the Normans Vikings?

Aelnoth of Kent was an English noble that lived in Denmark after the invasion, he called the Normans "Francigeni" because in Old English, Normen means "Vikings" and after a while, he stopped using "Francigeni" to describe the Normans and instead called William "Duke of the south Normans", as in southern Vikings. Dudo of Saint-Quentin was hired by Richard I and Richard II of Normandy and Count Rodolf to write strongly patriotic Norman hagiographies and celebrate their Scandinavian ancestry.

Normandy today, is not the same Normandy 1000 years ago.

Please so ahead and read the works of William of Jumieges, William of Poitiers and Dudo of Saint-Quentin. The Normans not only hated the French but they hated the Bretons and Irish too. There's massive work you can find on this subject. The only reason why the Normans picked up French culture is because they didn't want to get kicked out of France like past bands of Vikings. Normandy always came user attack from Ile-De-France and the Normannorvm every single time blamed the French for being jealous of Normannitas Regnum and hating their Pagan past.

The true history is that thanks to the 100 years of Chevauchées, the English under their English king ran riot across France unchallenged to rape, murder and steel as much loot as they could ram on the ships "les goddams". Then when they did get challenged at Sluys, Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt, the French got totally slaughtered and its been engrained in folk legend ever since. If you go to England you can find stately homes, churches and family chapels that were practically funded entirely from French loot. LOLOL.

Quebec without western gibs would probably look like mexico to be fair.

>french guy controls England
>French is the official language of England

>King of England controls parts of France
>people just keep talking French like nothing happened
oh no no no no

>more developed and first world than any place formerly owned by Spain or Portugal

Embarrassing lie

When it comes to your colonies, I doubt he's wrong

All four of the biggest battles of the war were English victories, not French. Yeah France got some good fights in the end but Crecy, Sluys, Agincourt, Vernuil and Poities are all the biggest victories. France also needed to be saved by 14,000 Scottish warriors at the battle of Bauge that the Dauphin Charles admitted saved France. The Scottish warriors were rewarded by the French king for their service by getting all the finest wine and gold in France.

Edward III was not named by his mother and to say the ENGLISH nobility was francophone is absolutely hilarious. In fact, Isabella of France and her family wanted to call the baby Louis after French kings but the whole english nobility protested in disgust and demanded he be called the traditional English name for kings of England: Edward. He also wasn't called "Edouard"...look on the English coins for his reign, it was spelt "Edward".

Edward III (Edward of Windsor) was a proud Englishman. Although because he wanted to rule over England and France, he tried to hit a balance between satisfying the English lust for war and reconciling the French with the English cause. A very tricky and stressful game to play...especially when you've got English parliament that want to bleed France dry of all its riches.

But by the time you get to my hero Henry V, the king of England simply stops caring and goes in sword swinging not giving a fuck. and Henry V went full blown conquest mode and nearly did it. Henry V smashed French sissies at Agincourt, got crowned the King of France at Paris, and even forced the french king to give his daughter to him in marriage.

After Waterloo, British soldiers occupied Paris and taught the French how to play golf, race horses, hunt foxes, grill steaks and bake afternoon cakes to eat with tea. The Austrians joined in on the party and taught the French how to cook baguettes and croissants. King Louis~Phillip, Napoleon III and Napoleon IV all loved to live in England and spoke English. British romanticism also culturally triumphed over French classicalism. I’m sure everyone knows Voltaire? He preferred England to France and his Letters escrites de Londres was a best seller in France and English fashion become hugely popular in France.

Quebec would become a failed state if it were independent, they are 100% dependent on handouts from the hardworking Anglo taxpayer.

Yes. They are the biggest welfare queens in the entire federation. They get billions in transfer payments every year and still have the nerve to chimp out about muh sovereignty. Their provincial government is famously corrupt here, even moreso than the backwards maritimers. Quebec is unironically a shithole and complete drain on our country that is only kept around because of muh clay and muh territorial integrity.

the state of french education

>france has never won a war against the superior england.
>100yrs war
>Victory of French House of Valois and its allies

Ah, I thought we were talking about HDI...
But yeah, obviously, Brazil is a huge player

Quebec is shit everyone on here shills for them yet Montreal is way more irrelevant then both Toronto and Vancouver

What former Spanish or Portuguese colony has a higher HDI than Quebec?

I thought Quebec is a net taxpayer into the federal system?
