I love it. Never understood the hate for the French. I sometimes mock their accent out of admiration (same with Dutch). It sounds so nice to me. Once came across a woman who spoke in a French accent in Overwatch, rolled her R's forever and it sounded so attractive.

Despite some very famous recent losses, France historically tended to go to war with and win against just about everyone on the continent, as such everyone got a bit salty about it. These days its just more of a meme.

Yeah, you know, I wasn't really around then. And I don't believe in making fun of someone because their ancestors were dicks.

Well, they conquered Spain by turning against them, allies up to that point, and having their army inside the country already. "The war can be said to have started when the French and Spanish armies invaded and occupied Portugal in 1807 by transiting through Spain, but it escalated in 1808 after Napoleonic France occupied Spain, which had been its ally."

The the Spaniards handed Napoleon his ass on a platter, coining the word guerrilla.

It was pretty much all Napoleon though. Combined with utter incompetence of the neighbouring states.

Never understood the hate for the French.

Just look up their colonial past. Before you think "That's old stuff now", some places still suffer from French colonialism today

One of the founding principles of the (CFA, African Financial Community) was that colonies had to keep 50 percent of their foreign currency reserves in the French Treasury, plus an additional 20 percent for financial liabilities. Thus, member states only retained 30 percent of reserves within their borders.

The monetary zone limits industrialization and economic development and discourages trade among member states
