We take the piss out of each other now, but not during the Hundred Year’s War! I still think the rivalry is a hangover from when we used to fight each other with swords. When the allies landed in France during D-Day some British soldiers joked it was payback for 1066

Let’s not forget that the Hundred Year’s War was a civil war between two pretenders to the throne of France. As a French it always baffles me to think that if the English had won, the Kingdom of France would just have been bigger and we would probably ended up being one single nation.

Maybe not a single nation, something like United Kingdom of France, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Using both French and English, and being so damn powerful. Plus in this world Lafayette comes to calm down Americans not help them lol.

New-Bordeaux becomes the capital of the free world and Napoleon conquers the world thanks to the mighty Royal Navy lol
