Napolean never managed to conquer portugal

>From wiki: The invasion of Portugal (19–30 November 1807) saw an Imperial French corps under Jean-Andoche Junot invade Portugal, which was headed by its Prince Regent John of Braganza. The military operation resulted in the almost bloodless occupation of Portugal

The Brits never conquered land where the people were strong enough to put up a fight.
>fighting niggers and abbos is easy

Agreed, The Brits basically choose places were the people were underdeveloped and could not fight back against modern technology also they claimed alot land in their "empire" but they never actually ruled over it just claimed it as theirs

Name one french country that isn't third world or 2nd world commies.

I'll wait.

Okay but what has any of your former colonies ever accomplished?

What has Canada ever accomplished?

What has Australia ever accomplished?

NOTHING

Read the rest. We never lost our independence. Our royal family moved to brazil.

J'avoue

rly fgt.

>What has Canada ever accomplished?
>What has Australia ever accomplished?

The ability to die of old age at 80

> the brits never fought.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_American_Independence

The French still took over and controlled your land though right?

that makes us smart

>fighting other europeans for control of the vast world
>doesn't count because it's not in Europe

Bien mémé

Also celts and germanics were basically niggers to the superior Romans.

French victories in the Napoleonic Wars heavily relied upon everyone surrendering, same goes for Germany in WW2 where France fought for 6 weeks before bending over for Hans.

This is the old world we're talking about. That was normal at the time.

Practically everyone has owned someone else's lands at some point or another. Most of France was English at one point and vice versa.

Yes really im so sick and tired of all these threads awing over the glorious British empire when compared to the French empire yours was shit

they fought themselves

and still lost

The Brits absolutely wrecked the French and Spanish plenty of times often over those nigger and abbo lands we just had the decency never to occupy our European bretheren in their homeland unlike those swines.

Hello Satan. I will remind you that no matter what you say, The British Empire was factually the largest empire to have ever of existed. It's power is magnified a hundred-fold if you consider the control we had over the various seas and oceans of the world.

Murrica could only dream of that kind of dominion.

Exactly. No one else was worth fighting anymore. We'd already kicked the shit out of everyone and everything else.

But you lost that fight...

> losing to yourself.
> winning against everyone else.

Git Gud.

>USA
>british
Really fggt?

Yes yes we all know in recent history France hasn't done so good but neither have you i mean you guys LOST you empire without even a fight

Murrica in charge of reading comprehension again. Pay better attention next time scrub.

>Who is Nelson
>What is the battle of Trafalgar

We used 27 ships and fought the French and Spanish combined at 33 ships.

They lost 22 ships and we didn't lose any.

>raped India for all its wealth
>literally one conquest away from having a solid strip of territory going all the way from fucking Burma to South Africa

China was certainly "strong" enough to put up a fight. But they're a nation of retards militarily.

>we just had the decency never to occupy our European bretheren in their homeland unlike those swines.

WRONG you tried to occupy parts of Europe before and were defeated by the French lets not kids ourselves Britain never occupied territory in Europe because you were never able to, Europe actually had modern technology

We realized that once we'd pacified the shit out of everything that we didn't need so much military anymore, but that if we maintained state control over the territories we would still need that military to protect it. So we just said fuck it, disbanded our vast armies, turned most of them into protectorates or alliances and maintained trade monopolies in those territories.

Hell, if anything we benefited from it.

All the French managed to do was conquer deserts and niggers. The British conquered niggers, indians, abbos, gooks and arabs.

You all seem to forget that while all this land conquest was going on pretty much every major maritime power in Europe was actively gunning each other down all over the world.

That's how much more powerful guns made us.

>This fucking thread

The British empire was only so large because you occupied large swaths of wasteland whos occupants did not have the technology to fight back while France actually occupied fully developed European countries also you guys claimed alot of land but never actually ruled over it so your "empire" is largely overstated

>what is Indochina?
>what is Pondichéry?
Yeah we didn't have abbos though, what a shame

British empire might have been larger, but we managed to keep more territories until now.

My favorite is French Polynesia, life is so comfy there.

>conquering land rich on resources is bad
Lmao

The British may have had the Superior navy but fact is even though you won some of the naval engagements against France and Spain you were never able to occupy their territory

Maohis are god-tier abbos tho : better fighters, stronger believers, warmer and more beautifull women

You make it sound like pacifying natives is easy m8.

How many men did it take for the British to occupy India? Basically their whole army and India did not even have modern weapons France actually occupied modern European countries

You obviously don't know that Edward III was the legal King of France, it wasn't some bullshit fake claim or something, it was a very legitimate invasion as far as crown claims go. The English repeatedly slaughtered the French, you show your ignorance of history by thinking the French defeated us. The hundred Years Wars ended in a white peace not some crushing defeat at the hands of the French.

>being proud of an around 10 year period where some jumped up manlet (napoleon/hitler/etc) went around europe in a state of almost constant war instead of a ~100 year period where your country enjoyed a state of prosperity and power never seen before

imagine being this retarded

>French empire was good
>abandoned vietnam for the yanks to get caught up in

Really user?

>trade monopolies in those territories

You have no trade monopoly over China and India now they both have a larger economy than the UK LMAO

We made alliances with other European countries instead of conquering them, user.

>The British empire was only so large because you occupied large swaths of wasteland whos occupants did not have the technology to fight back

There is a lot of irony in an Americunt saying this.

Napoleon kicked the shit out of them though

Consider what would have happened if the Holy Roman Empire had not been defeated.

>The holy Roman empire
That 'empire' was shit and you know it
They're weren't even true Romans

we kept our territories because we grew nations on them.

They had the best mode of governance for hundreds of years before colonialism came on the scene though.

Yeah i wonder how much territory the "British empire" would have been able to occupy without their precious guns probably nothing

Not much I guess

cant argue with that

10/10 would respond again.

The British empire was only larger than the French because they occupied deserted wastelands and claimed land that they didn't even rule over

You are both idiots. That picture is offensive as well. You don't see me pointing at Christians in the street calling them child molesters, or giving the churches small pox for the children. Irony is the so-called civilized ones who will burn in the Hell of Mother Earth for eternity; having existed only as part of a disease/plague.

If Napoleon hadn't dissolved the HRE, the world would be a better place, probably because there'd be no unified German state (maybe). The Germans are the worst part of Europe and we'd be better off without them.

No one said its easy the British empire is still arguably one of the best empires in history its just not as good as the French empire and definitely not as good as the Roman empire

>What are the 13 colonies?

There was also an awful lot of arctic exploration involved. We claimed Canada coast-to-coast.

> not as good as the french empire.

??? Our Empires helped one another, dipshit.

You realise that the entire piece of Africa they occupied is a big arse desert? And that is about 60% of their empire filled with absolutely nothing.

>probably because there'd be no unified German state

Moronic. Unification of an ethnic group was inevitable. Germany has also produced some of the best composers, philosophers, political thinkers etc. Infinitely superior to French culture.

And now France is the cesspool of Europe

Why would anybody do that though?

Yeah and a Frenchman was king of England at some point too whats your point? The French and English royal families have always been closely related

ywn when the country you live in has never controlled 25% of the world's land mass and population.

Cry harder french diaspora dick faggot, your cajun tears fuel my eternally anglo smugness.

He said in English.

Insulin, most Americans owe us their lives

Imagine if the Third Reich had occurred a hundred years prior.

Sage. Nique la police

LOL France had just as much prosperity if not more than Britain at its peak why do you think France is known as the most architecturally beautiful place in the world and not Britain? Get real

RARE

Last time i checked you weren't in Vietnam either

British are still upset about 1776 mate

>same goes for Germany in WW2 where France fought for 6 weeks before bending over for Hans.

Oh you can talk, you fought less than dutch and belgian.
60 000 french death during Battle of France;
3500 british ones.

We have an expression in french when people escape discretly from a situation, it is "filez à l'anglaise".
Hearing you boasting over it is like an italian mocking Germany defeat during Barbarossa.

Except most of the best french examples of architecture weren't built by french people.

obvious sliding is obvious

That's an image from England.
Why do you keep posting it angloscum ?

That proves that the French empire was superior because you actually had to make alliances because you were weak

The pic you posted is from the UK weedman

> getting caught up in a land war in Europe.
> ever a good idea.

Yeah, you enjoy your little meat grinder. We'll be off conquering the world kay?

Alliances were profitable. Our longest standing alliance is actually with Portugal.

We learned a long time ago that dominating a populace is bad for business.

>13 colonies
>canada
Pick one you moose fucker

Not really, France did not have a long period where they were undisputed kings of the world. Every single time you see a French poster of Frenchboo on here, they refer to the "glory days" of Napoleon, ie the ~10 year period they spent charging around Europe in a state of almost constant war. No thanks, I'd rather have the Pax Britannica where my country had around 100 years of global hegemony and relative peace, mired in numerous scientific and cultural advancements.

A citizen of Rome in the thread. Ave Putin!

You mean those 10 years where afterward everyone took pity on them and gave them back their toys.

LOL now youre trying to claim the French accomplishments as your own? Nice strawman argument Britain has never helped France

Same with yours only the France actually occupied developed European countries too while you couldn't

He wasn't, see salic law

> French–U.S. relations[edit]
Main article: France in the American Civil War
During 1861 to 1862, at the beginning of the American Civil War, Napoleon III considered recognizing the Confederacy in order to protect his operations in Mexico. Washington repeatedly warned that this meant war but the emperor kept this option open, hoping to get Britain as an ally. The Union blockade of southern ports stopped the supply of cotton to textile mills in France, and caused unemployment. The Confederacy had put their faith in "King Cotton" diplomacy, expecting that the cutoff of cotton supplies would cause Britain and France to declare war to reopen the trade. Through 1862, Napoleon III met unofficially with Confederate diplomats, raising their hopes that he would unilaterally recognize the Confederacy. France was too weak to act without collaboration with the British, who after much wavering finally rejected intervention as not worth the heavy risk of losing American food exports. Napoleon realized that a war with the U.S. without allies "would spell disaster" for France.[32] In 1863 the Confederacy realized there was no longer any chance of intervention, and expelled the French and British consuls, who were advising their citizens not to enlist in the Confederate Army. In 1865, the United States stationed a large combat Army near the Mexican border as a warning sign. Napoleon III pulled the French troops out, and the "emperor" he had imposed on Mexico was captured and shot.[33][34][35]"

>never controlled 25% of the world's land mass and population.

Nice meme the British would claim entire parts of Africa but you never actually ruled over them or controlled them just claimed them

English is only such a dominate language in the world because of the USA and Britain had nothing to do with that nice strawman

"... France was too weak to act without collaboration with the British, who after much wavering finally rejected intervention as not worth the heavy risk of losing American food exports."

>What is the Mughal empire?

Ahhhh yes because the Yanks just spawned in America speaking English one day.

Monaco.

>everyone else

You can barely defeat boers, zulus and maoris.

And when you defeat great powers, it's because you're allied with other great powers.
