I personally think France have given alot of important things to the world.
A good example is the Napoleon Civil Code.
But we need to look at some background when it comes to your other fellow countryman.


As to any other ppls from any other countries right ? If you like history as much as I do, you need to be obsessed by facts and you start to quit any form of nationalism.

You spoke of Napoléon its a good example. Nationalist will say he is just a hero and lefties will say he was just a mysoginistic blood thirsty killer. I just like to embrace full history with facts


[/QUOTE]Ask Malopox and Ofthevoid. There is a repulsive attitude towards France at times on this thread because of your fellow countryman.
He / She just appeared by the way.[/QUOTE]

I see ty I understand better now.

He is one of the greatest statesman / general in recent history , the other will be Charles De Gaulle.

Most of us in this particular thread will prefer and use an Amoral stance and viewpoint to look at this current war. But your fellow French countryman have been screaming and flaming since the thread begins.
I don't think Napoleon was a killer, he did what he did for the interest of his country and his legacy of course.

Honestly , he is not close to what we will think is a killer compared to the Mongols during the Yuan Dynasty.

first effective users of biological warfare.
If you are that interested in History and the current drama in Ukraine , I suggest you should consider a Realpolitik stance in this topic.

Some of these names might be familiar to you.
Otto von Bismarck, Henry Kissinger, George F. Kennan, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Hans-Dietrich Genscher, as well as politicians such as Charles De Gaulle and Lee Kuan Yew

Staline & Mao's Purges scored very good, are much closer in time, and their associated entities (elites, police state, political party) are still in place today...
