How did France go from being the best military power in Europe to a laughing stock?

How did France go from being the best military power in Europe to a laughing stock?

Why was revolutionary France so based, to the point that they took on all of Europe single handedly, multiple times?

>best

This.

The eternal anglo couldn't stop from being a butthurt and funding the defeated kingdoms of Europe until they managed to be successful
And since it's the eternal anglo we are talking about, they appropriated the whole glory of defeating Napoléon even though it's Blücher that beated him

But we still are the best country of all the time, Other countries make jokes about us because they are jealous of our great history.

We had our Emperor Napoléon, every french men could have died for him. But the the anglo mongoloid scums take him to that island in the atlantic and poisoned him fucking nigger of europe you bloody bastard pigs we will have revenge motherfuckers

>single handedly

They had some help

You already know the answer. It got its ass handed to it in ww2 and ever since has just been an American patsy like the rest of the west

This pretty much desu senpai. Also Russian winter.

>le surrender maymay

We fucked up in 1940 because our leadership was utter crap. A lot of strategic mistakes were made on this war.

Well we had one bad loss in 1940

The anglos are utter scum though, they do nothing but weaken Europe, I hope that soon enough they'll be replaced by pajeet
To bad we'll be replaced by ahmed by that time

>Why was revolutionary France so based
It wasn't.

>hundred years war

Napoleon coming back from exile to take over France AGAIN and bring the fight to the entirety of Europe AGAIN is, simply put, the greatest thing that ever happened in history. Nothing tops it. Napoleon is the greatest man who ever lived.

>French Revolution
>based

It was a shit show.

Change in National Culture to go from Empire/Nation of Grandeur to regional speculative.

It wasnt even nearly cold at the time he invaded. They couldnt even cross the river coz it wasnt frozen yet.

If you can't invade England your country can never be called great. Normans and Vikings don't count btw.

Trafalgar and the Scleiffen Plan.

friendly reminder that polish legions fought bravely with french at each of those

fighting to the last drop of Russian and German blood doesnt' make you impressive perfidious albion.

This was the last breath of the Frenchies. They've committed a cultural suicide in 1789 and then all vitality in their culture has ended in 1815. Since then they have been only a declining state

Revolutionary France was based?? They were literally finance by Jewish Bankers who brainwashed them to murder their own Monarchy,and then thing start changing fallowing before Battle of Waterloo where Rothschild trick them again.
Russia stop them and drive then back.

Germany united.

This.
''French'' revolution was work of the Illuminati.

This. The French people have been genocized.

That's you who said it.

-WWI trauma
-socialists
-old people
French lost the taste to fight, there is a huge post colonial empire depression too, I mean we still police niggers in africa and shieeet (especially because the americans don't want to do it) but overall the average french is a deeply demoralized animal, perpetual anti french propaganda from the US and England and importing african with 2 numbers IQ isn't helping too.

We have to be friends with germans, but it's more by obligation than anything else, krauts fucking suck and everyone know that we are at this point because of them (fucking prussian zergs) and the fact that they are trying to dominate the continent (again) is putting off many people.

Worse is the little of french descendant we have around the world (cajuns and quebecquois) the establishment isn't giving a single fuck about them.
Future is grim.

You may say this jokingly, but free-masons and various upper class clubs are pretty much ruling the country and various administrations right now
It's the reason we're a sclerotic nation of pampered morons, but on the other hand it's the reason we didn't go full retard with refugees and stuff

>laughing stock

according to who ? nu-simpsons ?

I'd believe you but now you are blacked so, you wont do anything. Social cohesion is fucked.

This book explains a lot about exactly the OP topic. First couple chapters especially.

TL; DR: Liberalism allowed the military to be a meritocracy so the common soldier fought harder and smarter and was led by officers who might have risen from a lower class instead of always from a permanent landed gentry. This meant the best rose to the top through meritocracy instead of aristocracy and nepotism.
