Oh I think it has everything to do with politics.

For the record, I think that most French people are very nice, with a few exceptions. De Gaulle was arrogant, but the right man France at that time. And the United States wouldn't have developed as a military without the support of France in World War I. Otherwise, we would have been broken up to fill other divisions as the English wished.
But let me repeat, this perception has NOTHING to do with politics. I can't stress that enough. You give us too much credit."'It's the last great adventure left to mankind'

It is interesting looking at the conditions for American support of France at Dien Bien Phu how closely they mirror Chirac's conditions for support of America in Iraq.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

It's not just that, it's the fact that the French have never been number 1. It's contemptible.

And i agree with St Leo, france has been number 1 in europe several times.And in days when being N°1 in europe meant be N°1 in the world.
But the pride of a nation cant be rated so easily, can it ?

It has to do with rude Americans in Paris being treated shabbily by Parisians, who then came home and complained to all their friends and neighbors about what jerks the French are. Mostly it's just a joke.

French DO have a pissed off inferiority for not being able to match the english at world "culture" dominion.
English have the US, the US "has" the world, the english language is all over the globe etc etc
They definitely have that complex.Comment

Ahem: Explain when. I mean, you could consider the days of the war of spanish succession, or napoleonic, but as in both cases they weren't able to exert superpower status, because everyone went up against them. Literally, in some cases.Originally posted by St Leo
