Bonjour, Monsieur Leblanc!

pronounced, bon-joor, muh-syer Leblanc.

This actually means "good day", but this is what people say in the morning in French to greet each other.

According to some, appeasement was reasonable because Great Britain and France were in no shape to fight another war with Germany. The only other option was appeasement, which allowed Germany to take control of the Sudetenland. Some say that it encouraged Germany to demand even more, but to most officials in France and Great Britain, appeasement was the most reasonable solution.

During the Vietnam War, a US Army "Troop" was a US Cavalry "Company." Example(s): "A" Troop, "B" Troop, "C" Troop, etc. The Australian Army in Vietnam called their "Companies" a "Squadron", and called their "Platoons" a "Troop." (During the war) The US Army standard "Infantry" Platoon was approximately forty men. An "Armor" platoon (in Vietnam) consisted of 5 Patton tanks per platoon; with 20 tank crewmen per platoon...led by a 2nd or 1st Lieutenant.

"Jeh vooz-emm o-see", roughly. Don't pronounce the J very hard though.

WW2 certainly accelerated the break up of the British Empire. (Even before 1939 it was overstretched: the enlargement after 1918 may have looked good on maps but it added to the defence burden). The break up of the Empire was quickest in the Indian sub-continent, in Burma, in what is now Sri Lanka - Britain was quite unable to cope with the violence in Palestine (and Israel). All these countries gained independence in 1947-49. In 1950 the future of Britain's African Empire was uncertain, but it soon crumbled. In all, it was a very rapid collapse. Moreover, it took a very long time for many Britons to grasp what had happened. Joncey

The French Revolution which took place during the time period of 1789-1793 became a republic and then France proclaimed a war of all peoples against all kings. Briton at the time had a king and so france declared war on them.

France was bitterly divided, especially while under German occupation. The Vichy regime consisted of assorted reactionaries and Fascists, plus opportunists like Pierre Laval - the sort of bullies who are happy to serve the powerful. The Vichy regime renamed France 'Etat Fracais'[French State] (instead of R

The usual Japanese word for Japan is Nihon.

The transliterated spelling Nippon is used for official purposes. Both words mean "the origin of the Sun."

The common term used to refer to unoccupied parts of French Territory was "Vichy France", so-called because Vichy was where the puppet government of Marshall Petain was set up after the initial truce with Germany.

They weren't. The French provoked the war, alarmed by growing German strength and the possibility of the unification of the hundreds of German city-states into a single, powerful nation. The unification of Germany and Italy into nations upset the careful balance of power created by the "Concert of Vienna", the peace settlement following the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Provoking the war with Prussia proved to be a major mistake for France, as they lost the war they started and had to cede Alsace and Lorraine to the victor. This did not stop the French from burning for revenge for the next forty years, laying the groundwork for the First World War. This thirst for revenge and for the recovery of the lost provinces of Alsace and Lorraine also perverted French strategic planning into an unrealistic reliance on the power of the spirited offensive, which the French followed in 1914 when the chance for revenge came, costing the lives of hundreds of thousands of French soldiers in the early months of WWI, to no purpose whatsoever.

France's strength in WW2 was defence.It was rock solid in defend by convential means. It was not suited however for mobile warfare.The french were expected another trench war and they thought that because of the maginot line, they would win with out much of a fight.However, as GErmany had an effective military offensive capability they seept through the part of the maginot line covering t the side exposed to belgium which took longer to build due to high production costs.

FRances offensive capabiluity was almost none as they only were able to attack a few desolute German towns and villages in 1939.

The Spanish explorer and cartographer was born in the village of Centernera in 1494 and died in 1519 at the age of twenty five from wounds recieved whilst fighting Indians on the Panuco River.

French food Various from region to region, but some traditional french food's are frog's legs and snails.

Most french people never eat frog legs or snails.

For dinner, it depends a lot of the region, and it changes a lot from a family to another. Some families eat a full four-courses meal, some just one dish. Two examples :

Paté with bread

Steak and green beans

cheese

fruits

Tomato salad

Rosted chicken with potatoes

Cheese

Yoghurt

All I know is that their economy is the 3rd highest in all the world.

Dwight D Eiesenhower of the US was in overall command. His main subordinates were Omar Bradley of the US & Bernard Montgomery for the British. Eisenhower emerges as a good, diplmatic leader.
