I'm french and i've liked this video. But I've also noticed one mistake. Even if Paris was an important city, during the roman period, the most important city of Gallia was Lugdunum (which is known nowadays as Lyon). Paris became the capital many years later. Even during Charlemagne's regn, the capital wasn't Paris but Aachen in actual Germany (or Aix-la-Chapelle as the french say it).

After the siege of Paris by the vikings, the king Charles (who was considerd as a coward) lost lots of influence on the kingdom. The count of Paris who was considered as a saver of the city uses his popularity to earn power. It's the transition between the carolingiens and the capetians who will become the biggest dynastie in whole Europe. And it is also with these events that Paris became the capitale.

Why didn't you talk about Charles de Gaulle during the WWII?

That lack of surrendering jokes in the comments section


I think we can define a part of happiness there

[jeanrafael]

I have a feeling this is going to be a massive channel

[brooklynq]

I'm going to France for my 43 Birthday.🇫🇷✨

[trlacr]

You didn't mentioned the "France Libre" of Charles de Gaulle...

[mreldude]

You left out Louis XIV. You didn't even mention him!

[tonyhawk]

Interesting video but you did not mention that France had a special position during the cold war and was not exactly a member of the western bloc. :)

[FeatureHistory]

Fantastic. You're pushing these videos out so often and still with such high quality, boggles my mind how this isn't your full-time job.

[Suibhne]

Sorry if i made mistakes. There will always be some here and there :)

[KTAsVidsandFacts]

Wait, so you're saying France is going to win a culture victory?!

[tamiou]

And we still have the best military record 🇫🇷

[max_]

Hey, no ! French has the best army at the time during the WW I !

[ThatIrishLass]

What you didn't mention is that France is currently the #4 military power in the world, after America, Russia, and China, with #5 being Great Britain, and are a leading nation in the War on Terror.

We don't lost the WW2, we lost the battle of france, the french résistance fought hard all the war, the colonie and Charle de Gaule has been a major force in the rest of the war . And now we are the 5th military puissance in the world and the 5th économie puissance .

[isabelleda.]

We didn't "lost" WW2 !! The French Resistance survived ; the colonies were still under Resistance control during all the War ; starting from this free Empire and with the help of its ressources, we retook our land since 1943 by force ; AND de Gaulle was at the table of negociations to make us part of the winning side. We got a permanent chair on UN because of all this involvment.

Wow! never knew a history of a major country can be this easy to memorize! I thought this was going to be really hard! I do know that you simplified it a lot for people to understand better so I’m going to have to go to more detailed videos looking at specific timelines of France! Amazing job thought!
