What ? give credit to the French who only supported American independence because they failed to take the America's for themselves, and only supplied weapons in order to tie up British forces so they could nibble away at other remote parts of the Empire lol
Funny that when the new independent US tried to invade Canada the French Canadian colonists who were quite happy under British rule actually fought alongside the British
I think some people here really need to read up on their history
Dont think I am defending my own nation, us Brits did some horrible things in our empire days, but the other nations of the day were just as bad and American independence was all about the money and had nothing to do with morality, also the only reason the Brits withdrew from the America's was to defend, consolidate, and even expend in other parts of the world which were at the time far more densely populated and far more profitable. Much as Americans like to think they beat the Brits the truth is the Brits could have won very easily but decided to focus their forces elsewhere in places more important to them at the time.

So now you are saying supplying weapons, food, and supplies, and even fighting a bit was nothing big? Tell that to paypal users when paypal goes down in middle of a vendetta...Funny that when the new independent US tried to invade Canada the French Canadian colonists who were quite happy under British rule actually fought alongside the British
As did the french roll over in WWII, and the swedes, and italy, and japan....so no surprise that allies change over time...I think some people here really need to read up on their history
Totally agree here......Dont think I am defending my own nation, us Brits did some horrible things in our empire days, but the other nations of the day were just as bad and American independence was all about the money and had nothing to do with morality, also the only reason the Brits withdrew from the America's was to defend, consolidate, and even expend in other parts of the world which were at the time far more densely populated and far more profitable.

What could be more important than securing the rebel forces? Its like if Vadar just broke off fighting the rebels because his Death Star had an airduct the size of a volkswagon for a space figher jet to fly through at 123K kilometers an hour...
ONE LAST THING I JUST HEARD FROM A BRITT COMIC.....AMERICA, President Lincoln is sumone to be proud of and a symbol of country like churchill. Then he put up the movie poster, and said...Lincoln, President by day, VAMPIRE HUNTER BY NIGHT...lulz M'rica **** yeah!!Not sarcasm here mezz you have sum valid points, i just disagree...
