Best Answer

The French hated the Germans in the late 1800s because the Germans attacked the French during WWI, because before the rise of Hitler, Germany wanted power.

It is a generalization to say that all French people hate Germans. Historical events such as World War II may have contributed to tensions between the two countries in the past, but attitudes toward Germany have improved over time. Like any relationship between two countries, there can be political, cultural, or historical reasons for any perceived animosity.

Why did most Germany hate the French so strongly?

The root of the conflict starts way before most people are aware of. Back in the middle ages, Germany was not a single country. It was a collection of states similar to ancient greece. These states were ruled by princes (essentially kings) that would occasionally fight but for the most part stayed united as one big country. Because of this, whenever the French would attack Germany, the French would usually win and kill thousands of Germans. This made the Germans hate the French. However after Wilhelm the first was crowned Emperor of Germany, the country was officially united. When the French tried attacking shortly after in a small war, they were crushed. This made the French also hate the Germans. Later in World War 1, the Germans and French were (not suprisingly) on opposite sides. The Germans rushed the french killing millions but the tides turned on the Germans and they also lost millions. A similar spectacle happened later in World War 2. The blood of the millions of civilians slaughtered by German and French forces along with a history of French raiding German lands caused the hate that is present between the countries today.

Why did so many Germans hate the Allies in the 1920s?

The Allies, such that existed in WWI and WWII, did not exist in the 1920s. Germans had reason to hate the French in particular and to some degree the British. The French were demanding the most severe of reparations in the peace settlements following the Great War, and Britain did little to resist.
