> it's not that one sided with how bismarck tried his best to provoke the war lul yeah but the parliement are to blame for taking the bait, especially after opposing the modernization of the army proposed by nappy. his biggest mistake was softening up and kneeling to muh democracy instead of jailing all opposition. in the end he became nothing more than a figurehead and took all the blame for something that was out of his control. victor hugo can eat shit too, he spent half his career sperging out about him without even living in france. you'd need some severe brainwashing for the french to dismiss republics. de gaulle was right about the french, they are self-destructive. france cannot work as a democracy, yet it longs for it. they are never satisfied. they get tired of all their greatest rulers and hate being chained up. they want ararchy, nothing more. > the french are calves, they are good for massacre, they only get what they deserve, they have been like that since the gauls > the french have been like this since the gauls. hannibal, who was recruiting legions to beat rome, wrote to his brother hasdrubal, who was raising mercenaries in spain and neighboring countries: don't take too many gauls. they are drunkards. they are courageous in action, reckless in combat, but quickly discouraged and never satisfied
