How do the British feel about losing to France in the American's revolution? France army beat the British in the America. You would never see something like that happen in Germany.
 
Yes but we beat them at
Poitiers
Agincourt
Crecy
Peninsular war
Quatra Bras
Waterloo
Battle of the Nile
Trafalgar
and another hundred or so battles
 
Nope America beat the British with a little help from the French and Dutch , But when they had to face the British face to face man to man they lost every battle , Plus the British had to save there sorry @rses from two world wars. Much thanks they got for the millions they sacrificed.
 
Royal Commandos are trained Superior.

ED: Grey, America has better equipment (helps them win wars) - - but Royal Marine Commandos have better training (fact)
 
No, there is no other country which can match Englsih/British warmongering not even the USA...yet. The French did help win the American revolution, if the French let the British resupply their troops in the 13 colonies the rebels would not have stood a chance. The last time a 'Frenchie' invaded the UK was 1066, and prince william the bastard wasnt really french but norman, man from the north.

Grey when did America beat Britain, never im afraid, the 13 colony rebels with the help of the Spanish and French beat Britain. America fought Britain in 1812, the British was about to destroy Boston and a peace treaty was signed. the British had more important things todo like fight napoleon, the USA was a pointless swamp at that time and it really wasnt worth the British wasting time and money fighting some lazy rebels, also the pig wars but no shot was fired. The closest we have come to war was 1812 and arguably Britain won but officially it was a 'draw'....The USA didnt save the UK ever. WW2...after the battle of britain, long before the yanks joined, the British destroyed any chance of a nazi invasion by destroying the luftwaffe and the kriegesmarine was no match for the royal navy, germany could not have invaded the UK fact, so the yanks didnt save the UK just speeded up the war.

Again America didnt beat Britain, it was the 13 colonies, USA didnt exist and America is a continent of north and south america i.e. Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Columbia USA et cetera.
 
Well, I still think you need to read up a bit more. France has a good army. Since the French army have not been to work for some time it is hard to tell who is superior.
 
It depends on what military branch and when. For a long time the British always had the superior navy while the French had a very strong land army, the Lion and the Shark. Before the British built a navy during the 16th century they fought on land almost exclusively, and both were very strong, but to pick the better one historically would in most cases come down to one's opinion.
