NB, William the Bastard (Conquerer) was not French... he was a Norman.

And as for Joan of Arc, she repulsed us, not defeated us. Made it too expensive to maintain the war in France. As did Napoleon, therefore preventing us CRUSHING you in 1812.

but he and his people lived in French for quite some time, since Rollo got Normandy in 911 by the French King....because he was scared of the normans...

He was from France.

We're not idiots. You think we just arbitrarily decided to go to war without thinking through what was going on in Europe?

How do you figure our revolution against you in the 1770s, then? We beat you fair and square there. And you should be glad we did, because we've saved the entire world quite a few times since then.

True, but Normandy was a semi-independent state from France, in the sense that France supported William so they didnt attack him.

Saying that makes it sound like Monaco or Andorra invading Britain lol

EDIT: NB, didnt you have some help... Dutch and French...

William the Conqueror was NOT French.

Yes, he came from Normandy, which is part of modern-day France. But the Normans were not the same as the French. That's like saying that Italians are the same as the Roman Empire. Geographic correlation =/= same country/people.

Norman Knights were famous even through the Crusades, quite some time after 1066

Well...we do put our interests first over the rest of the world. Name a government that doesn't and I'll name a government that should be overthrown.

So anyways. Thanks Dutchmen, Spaniards and Frenchies! We couldn't have done it without you! We know that Yorktown was won by the French blockade. I consider it a fair trade, we fly the Stars and Stripes and you DON'T fly the Swastika.

BTW, I was trying to stir up the Brit/French thing even though I was pushing the boundaries of history a bit. And especially since some of my ancestors come from France (GASP! Now TJ won't wanna play MtG with me ever again...).
