DeanWinchester 41,390 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 France and UK's relationship is so interesting looking at it through the centuries. Normandy conquers and unifies England. England almost defeats France in the Hundred Year War. French power waxes with Louis XIV and Napoleon. English power waxes with Elizabeth and Victoria. They fought over North America. The British captured pretty much all of New France. France helped America, then Britain's most prized overseas possession that included parts of then New France, free themselves from the British. Now they are among the best of friends. Flyin' like a 1000 Doves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact in war of 1812 they tried to take over our land and form panem Now we have the largest economic trade relationship in the world with $2 Billion in goods and services (not counting equity trades) crossing border daily!

TiphEret 1,320 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Ahaha wow at least one good thing about France these days I guess but can't say it's due to their actions, more to the failure of Brexit (so far)!
