France is a thousand years old.
Get that into your head.
She can, at a pinch, ask herself what makes her different from her British neighbour who is the same age:
but she is not comparing herself with little girls born in the 18th or 19th century.
The aim of the game is survival. Let's see if you'll all still be around in a thousand more years

法兰西是一个有一千年历史的国家。
把这一点记在脑子里。
再有必要的时候,她可以问自己,她与同龄的英国邻居有何不同。
但她并没有必要与18或19世纪出生的小女孩进行比较。
这场游戏的目的是生存。让我们看看再过一千年,你们是否都还在。

I’m not saying US is perfect, but when people underestimate her like that… it’s hard to take it seriously considering the enormity of the nation compared to France in almost every way

Just remember who won the war of independence for the rebels agains the British crown. It was the French.

记住一件事,是谁帮叛军从英国的皇冠上取得了独立。是法国。

The Americans won the war, they had 40,000 troops, French did contribute, but the balk of the fighting was by Americans.
The allies the U.S had didn’t even offset the German and Indian allies the British empire had.
It was a team effort, but it was mostly the Americans who won and beat the British.

是美国人赢得了战争,他们有4万军队,法国人确实做出了贡献,但战斗的主力是美国人。
美国的盟友甚至没有抵消大英帝国的德国和印度盟友。
这是一个团队努力的结果,但主要是美国人赢得了胜利并击败了英国人。

Kaspar Pena
Nope. Not only did the French supply much materiel and troops to the thirteen colonies, but both France and Spain expanded the war to include much of the Western Hemisphere. French naval power is what disrupted British sea routes long enough for the victory at Yorktown, and for many other engagements. The British actually shifted their focus to the Caribbean, reflecting the reality that the war had expanded to become a land grab free for all, and they wanted to seize some of the most profitable real estate in the world.
The United States should more be credited for doggedly holding on in the face of repeated defeats and the capture of many of their important cities, rather than the final defeat of the British, which came with serious foreign assistance and British distraction. That is to say: the United States would probably have won the war anyways, but the image we have today of their clear-cut conventional victory would not have been possible without the French.

不。法国不仅向13个殖民地提供了大量的物资和军队,而且法国和西班牙都将战争扩大到了西半球的大部分地区。法国的海军力量扰乱了英国的海上航线,足以使约克城战役和其他许多战役取得胜利。英国人实际上把重点转移到了加勒比地区,这反映了这样一个现实:战争已经扩大到成为一场免费的土地掠夺战,他们想夺取世界上最有利可图的一些地皮。
美国更应该归功于其在屡战屡败和许多重要城市被攻占的情况下仍然可以顽强地坚持下来,而不是在严重的外国援助和英国的分心下最终打败了英国人。也就是说:美国很可能无论如何都会赢得战争,但如果没有法国人,我们今天对他们那些明确取得的常规胜利的印象是不可能存在的。

Daniel Eyre
Ah not quite.
The “Continental army” had almost all of its equipment supplied by France, without which the rebellion probably would’ve fizzled.
And the French contribution at Yorktown was decisive, without it Cornwallis would’ve won the battle and the war would not have ended there and then. The American rebels had been fighting the British for 8 long years without much overall success and it took French intervention to force an end.

啊哈,不完全是这样。
“大陆军”几乎所有的装备都是由法国提供的,如果没有这些装备,这场叛乱可能就会泡汤了。
法国在约克镇的贡献是决定性的,如果没有它,康沃利斯就会赢得这场战斗,战争就不会在那时结束。美国叛军与英国人作战长达8年之久,却没有取得多少全面的成功,是法国的干预才迫使其结束。

SG Clarke
The thing that is almost always ignored by us Americans, is that one of the biggest inducements for the British to end the war in America, was the threat of the French (1778–83), Spanish (1779–83) and Dutch (1780–84) in Europe and beyond. The Royal Navy was not at its peak at the time, and the combined Franco-Spanish fleet was a serious threat, with an abortive invasion of Southern England in 1779. The Dutch added another 20 ships of the line to the naval forces arrayed against Britain. France and Spain attacked various key British outposts: Minorca, captured in 1782; Gibraltar, under siege from 1779 until 1783, after the war in America was concluded; France along with the Kingdom of Mysore, attacked British outposts in eastern India until peace was concluded in 1784; a planned invasion of Jamaica in 1782, as well as capturing several British islands in the West Indies; and Spain reconquering Florida (which had been ceded to the UK in 1763). For the British, involvement of these European powers changed the American War into a world war and it was one in which Britain struggled. Winding down the war with Americans was necessary for Britain to face its other, more significant, enemies, and eventually regain some of the standing it had already lost.

几乎总是被我们美国人忽视的一点是,英国人结束美洲战争的最大诱因之一,是法国(1778-83)、西班牙(1779-83)和荷兰(1780-84)在欧洲及其他地区的威胁。当时皇家海军并不处于巅峰状态,而法国和西班牙的联合舰队是一个严重的威胁,虽然1779年对英格兰南部的入侵流产了。但荷兰人又为对抗英国的海军力量增加了20艘战舰。法国和西班牙攻击了英国的各个重要前哨基地。米诺卡岛,1782年被占领;直布罗陀,从1779年到1783年美洲战争结束后被围困;法国与迈索尔王国一起攻击英国在印度东部的前哨,直到1784年达成和平;1782年计划入侵牙买加,并占领西印度群岛的几个英国岛屿;西班牙重新征服佛罗里达(1763年被割让给英国)。对英国来说,这些欧洲大国的介入使美国战争变成了一场世界大战,英国在这场战争中十分挣扎。结束与美国人的战争是必要的,这样英国才能面对其他更重要的敌人,并最终恢复它已经失去的一些地位。

So? Back then France was a powerful nation, one of the most powerful, and it controlled a great deal of land on the American continent. Today is a secondary ally to the United States.
Or did you forget that the US helped liberate France from Nazi Germany? That was much more recent than the American Revolutionary War.
Have you not figured out how time works? It tends to move forwards. 800 years ago, from Mongolia formed the worlds most powerful empire. Today Mongolia is barely of any significance on the world stage.

所以呢?是,当年法国是一个强大的国家,而且是最强大的国家之一,它控制着美洲大陆上的大量土地。但是今天它只是美国的一个次要盟友。
或者你忘记了美国曾帮助法国从纳粹德国手中解放出来?那段时间可比美国革命战争要近多了。
你难道没有弄清楚时间是如何运作的吗?它倾向于往前走。800年前,蒙古形成了世界上最强大的帝国。今天,蒙古在世界舞台上几乎没有任何意义。

And then who would take over France? The USSR, I presume? Sounds lovely! Just ask Poland.
France capitulated to Germany, it would not have been able to free itself, no matter what De Gaulle said. The Western allies restored the French government to power.

然后谁会接管法国?苏联,我猜?听起来真不错!问问波兰就知道了。
法国向德国投降了,无论戴高乐说什么,它都不可能获得自由。是西方盟国恢复了法国政府的权力。

Thomas Adbours
France has a long socialist and communist tradition. The communists were the main political force in France at the time and for the decades to come, they affected greatly the rebuilding of the country after the war. It would not have been a domination of USSR as for Poland or other eastern countries as the French communist party - that fought bravely in the Résistance against nazis, hence having much legitimacy in the eyes of the population - was already recognized by USSR would have likely been put in charge.
The USA and Roosevelt had the plan to impose their own government in France, the “Allied Military Government of Occupied Territories”. It took the audacity of De Gaulle, the obvious reluctance of the French population, and the support of the Brits after some time for the “Gouvernement Provisoire de la République française” to finally lead France after the Liberation.

法国历来有着悠久的社会主义和共产主义传统。共产党是当时法国的主要政治力量,在战后的几十年里,他们对战后国家的重建产生了巨大影响。它不会像波兰或其他东方国家那样被苏联统治,因为法国共产党--在抵抗纳粹的斗争中英勇作战,因此在民众眼中具有很大的合法性--已经获得了苏联的承认,很可能会执掌政权。
美国和罗斯福也曾计划在法国建立自己的政府,即"占领区盟国军事政府"。是戴高乐的大胆、法国民众明显的不情愿、以及英国人在一段时间后的支持,使得"法兰西共和国临时政府"才最终在解放后能够领导法国。

Daniel Eyre
France has no more any “long socialist and communist tradition” than any other developed nation. They have some of the most dynamic private enterprises in the world.

法国和任何发达国家一样没有“长期的社会主义和共产主义传统”。他们有着一些世界上最具活力的私营企业。

Peter Carter
The French communists almost started a civil war before Germany surrendered. Paris has had several communes in the Industrial Age, so yes France does have a communist tradition in their polity (check the history of agricultural and industrial subsidies plus the patent application system)

在德国投降之前,法国的共产主义者几乎发动了一场内战。巴黎在工业时代有几个公社,所以是的,法国在他们的政体中确实有共产主义传统(谷歌一下法国的农业和工业补贴的历史以及专利申请制度)。

Daniel Eyre
What complete nonsense.
It was Germany who reinvigorated Communist movements across Europe when they engineered the beginning of the Bolshevik revolution by setting up Pravda and basically transferring Lenin from Switzerland to St Petersburg. Oner of the most irresponsible war crimes in history. And the disintegration of the German national economy & institutions & society and the rise of Communism in Germany had NOTHING whatsoever to do with France; they were the result of the British naval blockade and the German military mismanaging their economy & governing and the Bolshevik revolution was the last spark needed.
The communes in Paris have nothing directly to do with Communism beyond being paid lip service.
Agricultural and industrial subsidies were commonplace in all developed economies prior to the 1980s and France’s continuation fo them has been no more than most developed nations.

真是一派胡言。
是德国重振了整个欧洲的共产主义运动,他们通过建立《真理报》并基本上将列宁从瑞士转移到圣彼得堡,策划了布尔什维克革命的开始。这是历史上最不负责任的战争罪行之一。德国国民经济、机构和社会的解体以及共产主义在德国的兴起与法国没有任何关系;它们是英国海军封锁和德国军方对其经济和管理不善的结果,而布尔什维克革命是所需的最后的火花。
巴黎的公社除了口惠而实不至外,与共产主义没有直接关系。
在1980年代之前,农业和工业补贴在所有发达经济体中是很常见的,法国对它们的延续也做得也不比大多数发达国家多。
(这两位就法国究竟有没有共产主义传统吵了几十楼,就不往下翻了...)

Gabor Kiss
What is mind-blowing is that in the Saint-Denis Basilica next to Paris, the tomb of the earliest king is that of the Frankish king Clovis I (466–511), the founder of the the founder of the Merovingian dynasty. Yes, Clovis was born 10 years before the Western Roman Empire collapsed!
So the thousand years only is debatable, it’s definitely more.

令人震惊的是,在巴黎旁边的圣丹尼大教堂里,最早的国王的坟墓是法兰克国王克洛维一世(466-511)的坟墓,他是墨洛温王朝的创始人。是的,克洛维出生在西罗马帝国崩溃前的10年!因此,“只有”一千年的说法是有争议的。肯定是更多。

Robert Walker
Britain is only 314 years old. (Act of unx 1706–7)
So France is gloriously 3 times as old.

英国只有314岁。(1706-1707年英格兰苏格兰联合法案)
所以法国的历史“光荣”地是它的三倍。

France has had many governments in that time under the name of France. Administratively, France is very young.

Every culture is unique. Trying to label them by development level is scientific but has no use. Why are French are not like Germans? All Europeans used to be closed. Some lived in warmer and in colder climates. French always liked good wine. It is in their culture. They were individualists and highly developed. They are not only were industrious but the first to start to think of revolution. They are not boring like Germans and Englishmen. Their language is elegant. Why are they like that? Your temperament is an unique combination of climate, resources and culture.

Huh? France has been unusually different from the rest of the Western developed nations?! In what way do you think so?
Because it doesn’t look especially different economically, politically, socially, etc. to the rest of western Europe to me at all!
If anything: It seems to be the most influential of the western European nations, at least in recent centuries. Although I notice that you’re only comparing it to anglophone nations & Germany and not to “western developed nations” in western Europe such as it neighbours Belgium, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland etc. Even given that: France has definitely had an influence on Canada and to a lesser degree the USA. And France of course has always had many fundamental similarities with the British Isles once you scratch the surface.
I don’t think you have a clue what you’re talking about John Kim.

嗯?法国与其他西方发达国家非常不同?你是怎么想到这个的?

In this question there is a pattern: you are willing comparing a country forged by Roman Empire and Catholic Church with countries with an English matrix, lesser Roman influence more anglosaxon and nordic influence, and major Protestant religious influence. Maybe this is one of the main reasons for the difference.

在这个问题中,有一个模式:你在积极地把一个由罗马帝国和天主教会打造的国家与具有英国基质的、罗马的影响较小、盎格鲁撒克逊人和北欧人的影响较大、新教的宗教影响也很大的国家进行比较。也许这就是造成差异的主要原因之一。

France is a unitary semi-presidential republic with its capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre.
Despite the wealth of the nation, an inadequate financial model and inequitable taxation system coupled with endless and costly wars meant that the kingdom was left in a precarious economic situation by the end of the 18th century. Especially costly were the Seven Years' War and American War of Independence. The French Revolution in 1789 saw the fall of the absolute monarchy that characterized the Ancien Régime and from its ashes, rose one of modern history's earliest republics, which drafted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The declaration expresses the nation's ideals to this day.
Following the revolution, France reached its political and military zenith in the early 19th century under Napoleon Bonaparte, subjugating much of continental Europe and establishing the First French Empire. The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars shaped the course of European and world history. After the collapse of the empire and a relative decline, France endured a tumultuous succession of governments culminating in the establishment of the French Third Republic in 1870 in the midst of the Franco-Prussian War. France was one of the prominent participants of World War I, from which it emerged victorious, and was one of the Allied powers in World War II, but came under occupation by the Axis in 1940. Following liberation in 1944, a Fourth Republic was established and later dissolved in the course of the Algerian War. The Fifth Republic, led by Charles de Gaulle, was formed in 1958 and remains to this day. Algeria and nearly all other French colonies became independent in the 1960s, with most retaining close economic and military connections with France.

法国是一个单一的半总统制共和国,首都在巴黎,是全国最大的城市和主要的文化和商业中心。
尽管国家富裕,但不完善的财政模式和不公平的税收制度,再加上无休止的昂贵战争,意味着到18世纪末,王国的经济状况岌岌可危。尤其是代价高昂的七年战争和美国独立战争。1789年的法国大革命见证了作为旧制度特征的绝对君主制的垮台,并从其灰烬中崛起了现代历史上最早的共和国之一,它起草了《人与公民的权利宣言》。该宣言至今仍表达着国家的理想。
革命之后,法国在拿破仑-波拿巴的领导下于19世纪初达到了政治和军事的顶峰,征服了欧洲大陆的大部分地区,建立了法兰西第一帝国。法国大革命和拿破仑战争塑造了欧洲和世界历史的进程。在帝国崩溃和相对衰落之后,法国经历了一系列动荡的政府,最终在普法战争中于1870年建立了法兰西第三共和国。法国是第一次世界大战的主要参与者之一,并取得了胜利,也是第二次世界大战的盟国之一,但在1940年被轴心国占领。1944年解放后,成立了第四共和国,后来在阿尔及利亚战争中解体。由戴高乐领导的第五共和国成立于1958年,并保持至今。阿尔及利亚和几乎所有其他法国殖民地都在1960年代独立,其中大多数与法国保持着密切的经济和军事联系。

France retains its centuries-long status as a global centre of art, science, and philosophy. It hosts the world's fifth-largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is the leading tourist destination, receiving over 89 million foreign visitors in 2018.France is a developed country with the world's seventh-largest economy by nominal GDP, and the ninth-largest by PPP. In terms of aggregate household wealth, it ranks fourth in the world.[16] France performs well in international rankings of education, health care, life expectancy, and human development. It remains a great power in global affairs, being one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and an official nuclear-weapon state. France is a founding and leading member of the European unx and the Eurozone, and a member of the Group of 7, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and La Francophonie.
