@ptah31 @MorgothsReview OK, explain to everyone how France and UK were losing in 1918 and how the american saved us ? Please tell us all ears open big boy.

[Romain @djx1970]

@Doncha_Ngo @01Enzy @misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Everything is better in France, come one... we are still the first visited country in the world. Should I explain why to you ? Its pretty obvious, the world want to see where the greatest is concentrate.

@ejmarkow @BiankaB12 You are very stupid and ignorant it's impressive. Is books illegal in your life ? Oh let us know... you are MAGA !?

@Doncha_Ngo @01Enzy @misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Love to the how frustrated are the brits, trying hard to find stuff against the man, the legend, the Emperor of the French. How is the Royal Navy ? Where are the boats ?

[Romain @djx1970]

@alexlimeq @misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Are you both historians ? Funny brits... I know it has to be hard to see that we do pretty much everything better in France.

[Romain @djx1970]

@avairgen9 @misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Wow, a guy is comparing Napoleon to Patton. You american obviously ?

[Romain @djx1970]

@HistoryDean It's what Hitler used to sell WWII to the German people.
So no, it wasn't a tie. Germany lost, asked for terms, and got them.

[Romain @djx1970]

@HistoryDean The allies chose an armistice over marching into Berlin to spare more lives, not because they were stuck. The "it was a tie" narrative is literally the Nazi Dolchstoßlegende (stab-in-the-back myth) repackaged, the idea that Germany wasn't really defeated, just betrayed.

[Romain @djx1970]

@HistoryDean As for the armistice: Germany requested it. On November 9th 1918, the Kaiser abdicated, revolution was spreading through German cities, the army was in open mutiny, and Ludendorff had already fled to Sweden in disguise.

[Romain @djx1970]

@HistoryDean The US declared war in April 1917 — after 3 years of France and Britain holding the line. By then Germany was already economically strangled by the British blockade and militarily exhausted. American troops barely had time to train before the armistice.

[Romain @djx1970]

@HistoryDean There is good books about WWI but as it looks that every american thinks they won it:

@misterjohnbull @TRBugeaud2 @MorgothsReview You don't know shit it's embarassing.

[Romain @djx1970]

@Luconck @MorgothsReview Have you ever red a book about WWI kid ? It is embarrasing at this point...

[Romain @djx1970]

@misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview The math doesn't care about your feelings. The win rate, the operational scale, the innovation, and the lasting doctrinal impact all point the same direction.

[Romain @djx1970]

@misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Yes, he lost in the end. So did Alexander (died before consolidating), Caesar (assassinated), and Hannibal (suicide).

[Romain @djx1970]

@misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview He created and was operating entire army corps as maneuver units, a corps system that every modern army still uses. He didn't just win battles, he invented the template.

[Romain @djx1970]

@misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview Every serious military history ranking (Dupuy's "Numbers, Predictions & War", the Correlates of War Project, etc.) place him at the top. Trevor Dupuy's combat effectiveness index gives French forces under Napoleon a multiplier no other army in the era approaches.

[Romain @djx1970]

@misterjohnbull @MorgothsReview He fought ~60 major engagements and won ~45 — a win rate above 75%, unmatched at his scale of operations. Commanders like Caesar or Alexander never faced the coalition warfare he did: multiple professional European armies, coordinated against a single opponent, repeatedly.
