AHC: France remembered as a country of warriors

If France somehow could be in a similar situation as Germany there and still fight on against the massive odds. Maybe have the KoF and the HRE switch places? The KoF being a decentralized mess who later unite, and the HRE being a powerful centralized but under performing state.

For this to be a thing, the PoD needs to be all the way back in the 800s when Charlie's kids were bickering over who had the most crowns.

Lothar should win, annex France and Aquitaine, and become a decentralized mess of duchies while Germania goes back to, I dunno, being ruled by Wends or Slavs or something.
 
It is not for France to do anything to prove it is not a nation of coward.

The only action needed is for the ignorant to open an history book. As several people already said: the whole french= coward is just slander.
 
Surprised Adolf never claimed that feat for himself. :p
Well most of the German garrison burned to death a few months latter when they tried to use flamethrowers to cook sausages. So it was kind of considered a national tragedy after that.

Something about that place just seems to generate a field of stupidity for both French and Germans.

That's like saying "the best revenge is to live well", sounds good and enlighten but doesn't solve the problem.
 
I have to say, this thread has received far more attention that I could have hoped for.

And yet again, it seems that my knowledge of history is woefully inadequate.

Still, this has been quite a learning experience, especially considering the true foundations of France's military success and what creates a warrior culture reputation.
