frenchfaggot arrogance. The french are the most incompetent, laziest morons of Europe, but they have an overinflated ego, despite being viewed as a gigantic circus tent by everyone else. But they often delude themselves with being the pinnacle of culture.
The french couldn't win a single battle, but won the war. Anglos carried the Entente on their backs. The french won, yet they were still humiliated, so they projected their humiliation to Germany. Also, they were terrified of Germany's wrath, because they knew exactly, that Germany will btfo them again in another war and will humiliate them again, so they wanted to break the German spirit, unsuccessfully.
The french are eternal losers, but they good at picking allies who will win the war for them, then quickly take credit for their allies' victory
