They own the moon

wtf I hate this country now

Thx :)

where not for the French navy, the US simply wouldn't have even had a chance, and look at how they were repayed:
>France's status as a great modern power was re-affirmed by the war, but it was detrimental to the country's finances. Even though France's European territories were not affected, victory in a war against Great Britain with battles like the decisive siege of Yorktown in 1781 had a large financial cost which severely degraded fragile finances and increased the national debt. France gained little except that it weakened its main strategic enemy and gained a new, fast-growing ally that could become a welcome trading partner. However, the trade never materialized, and in 1793 the United States proclaimed its neutrality in the war between Great Britain and the French Republic

thanks for making good cheese

*were it not

Fuck freemasons

I know. Hence why I made this thread to highlight the French's involvement in the revolution.

My mom lived in your cunt for college, says you guys were really cool. I only tease you as a joke because every French person I have ever talked you is really nice :)

americans will never be able to accept the fact they owe their freedom to the "surrender monkeys"

Thanks surrender monkey. We got your back.

>surrender monkeys

I hate france but still we owe the french forever

Germans ruined world on east to Rhine, Frenches on west.

>we owe the french
Meh. We kinda did that in WWII. Sure, we weren't there from the beginning but we still helped.
>Forever
Lmao what?

Literally never heard that term once in my life. Probably an Aussie invention.

some german Gerneral Staubben or so helped Americans to win the Revolution. French people only sucked dicks in the back ... like always

Same, we also helped and they don't even know or care about it.

most of the germans in that war were hessians on the british side lmao

Pretty sure the Hessians fought on the British side and were responsible for the rape and slaughter of a bunch of civilian settlements.

yeah it was a prussian guy who trained the men to be actual soldiers and not militia over the winter
huh neat, never knew

>rape and slaughter of a bunch of civilian settlements

you've been watching the patriot too much

So were Americans helped simply to spite Brits?

We entered the war on France's side in 1812

This is what you get for helping Americans

Also:
>When trade resumed, the Americans favored their British counterparts

>The Americans spread the unjustified yet extremely respectful and dishonoring 'French surrender monkeys' meme

>Freedom fries

>Wanted to occupy France with military bases after WWII

etc etc

We didn't do much though, mostly sent you some money and weapons.
It was mostly an excuse to get back florida, minorca and cuck the brits out of the caribbean.
I think we also tried to claim the midwest since we captured some british forts in illinois but it didn't work out.

>French surrender monkeys
See >Freedom fries
What's wrong with French fries?

france should have been occupied imagine fighting for 4 years like a normal army from 1914-18 then just totally collapsing in 1940 LMAO

don't forget the quasi-war

The BEF was saved by French rearguard actions at Dunkirk. Show some respect.

>muh training
dumbass, French troops actually fought in America

Anyone? What benefits did the French and others get from helping us?

imagine a french army fleeing england and us saying "YEAH WELL WE SAVED YOUR GUYS WHEN YOU WENT HOME" the point is we utterly failed to defend our country. our mistake was expecting the french to be competent

For France it was getting back at the brits after the 7 years war, also to get you as an ally and trading partner.
For Spain it was getting back Menorca, Gibraltar and Florida.
It backfired horribly desu

No, the point is that England would've had to surrender if the BEF had been destroyed. The Nazis would've won right then.

I love France :)
I am learning French, but when I master it I will write a novel in French :)

Sorry French bros
Based

It was indeed only to harm British interests.
Also back then we cucked you out of westward expansion with Louisiana, not a real threat.
Backstabbing the young USA could have been an option.

also, we didn't get back gibraltar (obviously), I misunderstood the question and thought you asked what they hoped to get with it

Spain fault for not sending anyone to settle the land

>>Freedom fries

Why does this get brought up almost daily here? Absolutely no one ever actually called them that. Some POG drone in an office building in the DC metro area printed off a new placard for the cafeteria, someone snapped a photo, and then everyone pretended that the entire country was up in arms about hating France. The stupid label got taken down in like 36 hours because 99% of us thought it was absolutely retarded and cringey.

Joe Average on the street never stopped saying "french fries".

Thanks for the info. I love learning history, even the overlooked details in famous events.
