The French couldn't give a rat's ass for US independance. Sure, they commited forces, but they did that to hurt the English, not help us. The US and France won, BOTH countries won what they went to war for.

Of course, the joke was France's aid to the American rebellion bankrupted the French treasury and led to the French Revolution.

"If you had been a nicer king,
We wouldn't do a thing,
But you were bad, you must admit.

We going to take you and the queen
Down to the guillotine,
And shorten you a little bit."

Yes, *something* good came out of it.

Now, had Napoleon gotten rid of the pesky United States...

Nah Zkribbler, what bankrupted the French was all the fancy palaces and poufy clothes of their king, Butthumper IVX.

He did an excellent job of beating the crap out of Austria. That means there are fewer annoying Austrians, like yourself, that we have to listen to today.

Actually, we contributed a lot to Nappys downfall.

Which *may* have been a mistake, considered that he might have later invaded the US and reduced the number of annoying Americans...

Invade America before defeating Britain?

Considering the fact that he knocked Austria from the level of European Great Power, I find that doubtful.

We were a Middle Power before and after. He didn´t change our status, for better or worse.

You were a Great Power before and after until WWI however, I was more concerned about during. He knocked you out of the balance of power in Europe in 1805. The UK, Prussia, & Russia were of far more import to the downfall of Nappy than Austria.

Not to defend this poll, but I think it was because they are traditionally neutral nations.

That is exactly why....Sweden and Swizterland have been pretty calm for the past 60 years or so, so I decided to lump em together to make room for eithers.

**Comrade Tribune** · February 15, 2003, 22:26

Nappy *was* quite good. All four powers were *just* sufficient to defeat him.

Anyways, we were on the winning side, so I don´t think that there are many Austrians that hold a grudge against Napoleon.

At that time, they were being colonialized either by us, or by the Turks, but I really don´t know which of both.

Extremely funny sig.
