What three conflicts would that be?

Yeah, by my score, it's

Napoleon vs. Prussia - a clear win for France
Franco-Prussian War - a clear win for Germany
World War I - "no decision"
World War II - a clear win for Germany in 1940

so that's a 2-1-1 record for Germany.

Did Germany not surrender?



World War II - a clear win for Germany in 1940


But a clear loss in 1945.

Amazing.

He means the Franco-Prussian war.

Even so, he can only get a 3-0 score in Germany's favor by
giving Germany a win for WW1.

Think about it.

Pierre-Henri was probably refering to the war of 1870, won by the Germans
at

Though, technically, Germany didn't exist until 1871, after the war.
Just thought I'd muddy the waters even further :-)

the expense of France who lost some territory in the eastern part of the
country (this heavy defeat was also the signal of the end for the second
empire and the French people eventually gained a new republic, the third),
but I agree with your other post : Germany did loose WWI to the Allies and
this war is anything but a defeat for France (well, I know some who won't
agree with that...).

I was just making a sarcasm, to underline the fact that even in his twisted
conception of victory/defeat, Al Minyards got it all wrong.
What I meant was "of you consider WWI and WWII as a 2-0 for Germany, you
might as well throw in the Prussian victory of 1870 and make it 3-0".
I should have added a smiley, sorry.

See my previous post. I was just rewriting 19th century history the Minyard
way.

France was defeated by Germany in WWII (despite putting up a fight
that was more heroic than the Americans had done in 100 years).

WWI was a draw. Probably Germany WOULD have won had the Americans not
entered the war. But, as the articles showed, not because of French
lack of courage or fighting prowess.

The French

by Gary Brecher

The new big thing on the web is all these sites with names like "I
Hate France," with supposed datelines of French military history,
supposedly proving how the French are total cowards. If you want to
see a sample of this dumbass Frog bashing, try this:


Yeah and the French were ruled by gay kings and lead by mentally-ill
girls, should we treat the French as if that ancient history is still
current?

And America is led by a mildly retarded "dry drunk" who, like a one
year old, almost choked to death on a pretzel. Prior to that it was
led by a degenerate hillbilly who was getting blow jobs from a fat
chick while on the phone with senators. Etc. etc.

Maybe we should.

The below must be a joke, right?

"Interestingly, we started to lose this war only after the embedded
reporters pulled out. Back when we got the news directly from Iraq,

Er...from the army.

there was victory and optimism. Now that the news is filtered through
the mainstream media here in America, all we hear is death and
destruction and quagmire..." Ann Coulter

This bitch should have worked for Pravda 20 years ago. She's a
typical, aggressively unattractive and tasteless American woman.
Actually, no. She would have to put on another 80 lbs. to be a
typical American "Jennifer".
