I understand the reaction taken from France's position on Iraq. A few months ago the continual reminder to the French that they're part of an "axis of weasel" for not backing a country that protected them during WWII. The general stance of "how quickly they forget" spread fast.

Something I thought about later is early American history. The issue we had with England not wanting to let go and fighting the British.

Im not an expert on US history so I wanted to ask someone here. I know militias contributed to the fight, but what was Frances role (if any) in fighting the British?
