Not sure they do. However, back in the days, there was the usual territorial squabbling between neighbours. Before States were properly established, bits of Europe kept on changing hands with invasions, infiltrations, royal marriages and so on. Eventually the English were in control of a lot of the European mainland and the locals began to say, 'Hey, get out, this is our bit'. That's what the Hundred Years' War was all about. People in the French countryside began to see the English as marauding invaders and the French King as a glorious liberator. Eventually, of course, the English were booted out, and for the next five hundred years their foreign policy was aimed at making sure the French didn't get too powerful. This was resented too.
