    I'm a Fracophile. I admire France's past military might, even if the British and French. The opposing forces had respect for the POW's and both sides did well in caring for the injured and respecting each other's dead. General Montcalm even went out of his way, with great honour, to prevent the Massacre after the capture of Fort William Henry by the Iroquois Indians, even French soldiers were killed in the cross fire, protecting the British POW's.

      During the revolutionary and napoleonic wars, British POW were relatively well treated by French... the opposite wasn't true. French POW in english hands were mistreated :
      Prison hulk (ship)
      Her front line days over, HMS Temeraire served as a prison hulk, receiving ship, victualing depot, and finally a guard ship before being paid off and sold to the breakers.
      A prison hulk was a hulk used as a floating prison. They were used extensively in Great Britain, the Royal Navy producing a steady supply of ships too worn-out to use in combat, but still afloat. Their widespread use was a result of the large number of French sailors captured during the Seven Years' War, and continued throughout the Napoleonic and French Revolutionary Wars a half-century later. By 1814 there were eighteen prison hulks operating at Portsmouth, sixteen at Plymouth and ten at Chatham.
      Prison hulks were also convenient for holding civilian prisoners, commencing in Britain in 1776 when the American Revolution prevented the sending of convicts to North America. Instead, increasingly large numbers of British convicts were held aboard hulks in the major seaports and landed ashore in daylight hours for manual labour such as harbor dredging. From 1786 prison hulks were also used as temporary gaols (jails) for convicts being transported to Australia.

    The Irish Brigade saved and won the day for De Saxe, it is the only time all six infantry regiments of the Brigade: Dillon's,Clare's,Berwick's, Bulkeley's, Lally's, Roth's and Fitzjames's cavalry fought together as one unit. One can only wonder what the outcome of other battles and indeed wars might of been had the Brigade been used as a single unit more often. Semper et ubique Fidiles.

    France has the best military record with mixed results.
    "BBC:
    There have been 53 major wars in Europe
    France had been a belligerent in 49 of them; UK 43.
    In 185 battles that France had fought over the past 800 years, their armies had won 132 times, lost 43 times and drawn only 10.
    Giving the French military the best record of any country in Europe."

      Britain was a Naval power not a Land power, although it had a small professional army, it fought on the continent as part of a Coalition. A nation that tries to dominate Europe by force tends to make more then one enemy. Besides its in the British psych to fear large national armies, that can easily be used to subjugate the people. Although Cromwell did right by the people he had an army to hold onto power. James II tried it in 1685 and it backed fired in the Glorious Revolution 1688. The Treaty of Dover of 1670 was a prime example of well founded paranoia. When the cabal under Charles II was in league with Louis XIV, to raise funds for the king in order not to ask parliament to raise taxes.It was agreed if Charles II helped France to destroy the Dutch Republic in a naval contest, then Louis would give Charles a pension. But the snag was he had to openly convert to Catholism and with the funding to use force on his subjects to convert them back to Catholism. Charles never actually went through with it and played both sides for fools to his credit, a political survivor. James II was different. That is why Britain never had a large army. The Royal Navy was chiefly for defence and keeping the trading lanes open.

      There is actually a sound military reason not to fire first. On effect, he who fires first is at a disadvantage because of the lackof accuracy of the muskets of the time. After firing you need to reload and that gives the other party time to close in and fire from much closer range and thus greater accuracy and devastation.

  • @grandmasterezioauditore982
    @grandmasterezioauditore982 9 років тому +34

    The French defeated the British in 22 battles in the wars between 1700-1800. The British foreign policy of the era was to blockade enemy ports to cut off trade and defeat the enemy at sea, due to Britain being a Naval power. Seeing though Britain possessed a small professional army, it was vital to fight a war as a coalition on the continent, to compensate for the short fall in numbers. It's either the Dutch, Austrians or the Prussian's that the British were allied to in the 18th century. It was also in the interests of Great Britain to protect the Kings home of Hanover from French invasion. Usually powers that wish to dominate the continent of Europe tend to make more then one enemy. Usually British money helped to build up our Allied Armies, such as the Dutch in the Spanish Succession and the Prussian s in the Seven Years War. Britain's chief enemies were France and Spain in the 18th century.

    Driven off by the invincible and inexorable Irish Brigade, the best of the British, Dutch and Hanoverians were, as those undaunted and irresistible Irish Wild Geese were, at that time as they had been for the past half century prior to Fontenoy, the best and most fearsome missile troops on the planet, and some of the finest and most formidable of modern times.
    For what an amazing and outstanding performance that they gave at the end of that bloody battle, and one that has gloriously resonated down through the ages as one of the fiercest and most awesome bayonet charges ever launched and seen to final victory, unleashed, as it was, against this battlefield adversary who was so seasoned, so toughened, so resolute and so redoubtable, yet no match for the unrelenting and savage determination of those vengeful and ferocious Irish troops, who smashed into their elite, numerically superior combat opponents with this extreme vigor, viciousness and valor, and thus drove off at the tips of their bayonets these soldiers who had been regarded and feared as some of the best and most professional in all of Europe, Cumberland's crack, most top notch troops, advancing towards what they believed to be this final victory.
    That was till they were met with that entirely unexpected, last great onrush of Irish cold steel, which plunged quite fearlessly and furiously into their sturdy ranks, as those rightfully enraged Irish warriors engaged Cumberland's finest in this hand to hand maelstrom of wicked ferocity and terrifyingly sharp blades that jabbed, stabbed and sliced away with this blurring speed and lethal effect, as the seemingly supernaturally inspired Wild Geese wreaked devastating and merciless havoc within the British and Hanoverian ranks, causing much panic and terror within them as well.
    Soon the surviving remnants of that once proud and formidable force of mostly English troops broke and fled, panic stricken after being brutally savaged and routed by those insanely fearsome, ultra badass and wholly victorious Irish Wild Geese, who had proven themselves as amongst the most dedicated, battlefield worthy, dreaded, dependable, intrepid and glory drenched soldiers of the entire sweep of the 18th century, they were that good, elite, fierce, driven, warlike and steadfastly unyielding under even the most horrific and desperate conditions, those indomitable and ardently inspired Sons of Erin. The best troops on the planet back then!

    When I think of Fontenoy, I imagine the long line of the French Guards advancing to meet the British Guards from Cumberland's vaunted column. Both sides' officers bowing with courtesy, both sides letting up a cheer for king and country, before His Majesty's soldiers let loose a deafening volley that blew away over 700 Frenchmen. What an age it was.

      The famous sequence of inviting the other to fire first had actually a sound military reason. In effect, he who fired first was at a disadvantage because of the lack of accuracy of the muskets of the time. After firing you needed to reload and that gave the other party time to close in and fire from much closer range and thus greater accuracy and devastation. Fontenoy's encounter of the French and British guards is a prime exemple. The French fired first and were bested in the ensuing encounter.

      This seems like a lot of victories, but a lot of these are just skirmishes or raids. I'm not denying that France and Spain were major military powers but counting every little thing as a huge victory is pretty stupid. Also shipwrecks don't count as victories for the other side.

      Pat Aherne Yes I know the British were not invincible, but this guy is putting tiny skirmishes on the list of victories against the British making it look like the British lost more than they did.

      @MrDidz 10 років тому +14

      Actually I mean't the film production company. The French Army of this period was considered to be the best in Europe and one of the most advanced in terms of drill and tactic's. In fact, that was to pretty much remain true until the end of the 18th century, with Napoleon carrying on the tradition for innovation and advanced tactic's. started by Marsha Saxe.

    • @MrDidz
      @MrDidz 9 років тому +3

      madeline koster You have obviously been reading some dubious books about British history. The fact is that after the Sevens Years War Britain was pretty much broke. Everything was wound down including the Royal Navy and the British Army. Over the same period the French army and navy were rising to the height of their power and were busy expanding their colonial Empire quite aggressively. Even the Dutch were a serious threat to British trade and colonies in this period and Britain fared really badly in several conflicts with these nations such as the war of jenkins ear. It took a major investment in new ships and new army reforms to drag Britain out of this decline andn re-establish her navy and army as a potent force. But right up until Trafalgar in 1805 it could have gone either way. If Nelson had lost we might all have been speaking French.

    • @MrDidz
      @MrDidz 9 років тому +3

      madeline koster I think you need to steer clear of American history books. I suspect they try to talk up the strength of Britain to make their victory in 1776 more glorious.
      In practice the Royal Navy was completely ineffectual at preventing the French supporting the American revolution. The French were able to land troops and supply them without serious interference, and the Battle of Chesapeake Bay against the French though inconclusive resulted in the British fleet having to withdraw and abandon Cornwallis' army to it's fate at Yortown significantly undermining any hope of a British victory. On paper, the Royal Navy may have had more ships, but most of them were laid up in ordinary because the government couldn't afford to equip them for sea, whilst the French had just completed a major shipbuilding programme intended to made it the worlds greatest naval power, and had a whole fleet of modern ships of the line and some excellent Admirals.
      Likewise the British army of this period was riddled with corruption. On paper it had somewhere around 240 regiments, but in practice most of these were just paper regiments being used by crimpers to market commissions and claim government subsidies.
      In reality after the Jacobite Rebellion in 1745 Britain had about 72 regiments which were fit for active service, though not at full strength. Possibly, around 35,000 men under arms, in fact the Kingdom of Sardinia was noted as having a larger army than Britain at the time.
      By comparison the French could field an army of just under 400,000 men,which was the largest it had been for over a century, and Marshal Saxe had introduced innovations which were being copied by armies all over Europe.

    • @MrDidz
      @MrDidz 9 років тому

      madeline koster During the period of the American revolution both (if not all) navies used the same indecisive battle line tactic's. It was not until the Nelson period that the idea of decisive naval tactics aimed at complete destruction of the enemy fleet evolved.
      BTW: you mentioned the Quasi-War being a success for the American navy over the French. But you do realise that over 240 American merchant ships were captured or destroyed by the French over this period,which is about five times the number captured by the British in the same period. In fact, it was these losses that finally persuaded the Continental Congress to complete the construction of the frigates it had started building and then abandoned. They were originally intended to act as commerce protection vessels to fend off the French privateers, and only got used against the British after Maddison decided to invade Canada in 1812.

  • @BCSchmerker
    @BCSchmerker 9 років тому +3

    During the War of the Austrian Succession, France stirred up trouble on British home soil by landing a rebel prince in Scotland; the new Jacobite uprising forced the British high command to withdraw an army from the Continent to deal with this home-front emergency. One obvious problem for the British army under HRH William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, was clearing the rear of an anticipated French attack en route to the sea.
    The French army under the command of Hermann Moritz von Sachsen dug in at Fontenoy in anticipation of a Pragmatic Allies assault, which came 11 May 1745, and the French defenses held. The French countercharge, however, failed to rout the British line. During the retreat, the British 32nd and 34th Foot reloaded on the march and fired into the pursuing French at measured intervals, supported by the ambush operations of the Black Watch (which exacted further tolls on the reduced French cavalry) and the skirmishes of the Horse Guards.

    • @allanthomson7262
      @allanthomson7262 7 років тому +1

      B. C. Schmerker Good balanced account of the battle. The jingoists don't realise how close the British Allied army was to victory and the fact it was able to withdraw as a cohesive fighting unit far more intact than the 'victorious' French army which despite having had the advantage of holding strategicly advantageous ground was beaten back, severely mauled when counter attacking and broken to the point that it was in no position to provide any pursuit to the withdrawing British forces.
      That Fontenoy was a 'decisive victory' has little to do with the outcome of Fontenoy and more to do with the stirring up of intrigues and financing rebellion in Britain forcing the redeployment of the British Army back to Britain to deal with matters there - the same kind of intrigue these jingoistic posters criticise Britain for when it formed alliances on the continent...

    • @gengis737
      @gengis737 4 роки тому

      What a denial. It was the decision of Cumberland to fight in Northern Europe that gave prince Charles the opportunity to land in Scotland, without French troops. Cumberland did not send units back to Scotland before Fontenoy.
      At Fontenoy, he had 60,000 men against 47,000 French. His massive assault was crushed by artillery and elite cavalry force, his assault column routed, the skirmish by two British batalions to protect the retreat of a whole army is a tale for children. Reality is 3,000 prisoners.
      Let me know, Coruna is a British victory and Berezina a French defeat ?

    The only reason Louis of France won Fontenoy was that the Irish Brigade saved his miserable neck. They fought so hard not for his sake, even his own country men didn't. The Gaels fought to carve away at the English, in hopes of a restoration ofthe Gaelic Order back home.

    • @louisiananlord17
      @louisiananlord17 10 років тому +22

      France won Fontenoy because Maurice de Saxe bested four armies with a single hand and Louis XV was a great king for Mother France and this is why Flanders is now dominated by the blood of Charlemange and Roland! Give credit where credit is due, buddy. :p

    @allanthomson3241 9 років тому +5

    But what this jingoistic film doesn't depict(and nor do the equally jingoistic comments below bother to mention it) is that the Black Watch well and truly bloodied the French in several hard fighting rear-guard actions.. "The Highland furies,"....."rushed in upon us with more violence than ever did a sea, driven by a tempest... We gained the victory, but may I never see such another." (written by a French officer). on the French side maybe the Irish are felt to be the heroes, - however if there was a Regiment of the day it was the then 43rd Highlanders (now the 42nd)....
    The French army may have been considered the most advanced at the time, but they couldn't handle the shape of things to come... the Highland Charge....

    • @allanthomson7262
      @allanthomson7262 7 років тому +1

      Jonathan Williams in what way were they traitors? they were fighting in an army they had joined to serve a king they had accepted. Not every Highlander was a Jacobite and not every Highlander supported James. you lack a full understanding of history at that period if you think the 43rd (now the 42nd) were
      traitors. perhaps you would like to elabourate on your comments to try and justify your misconception?

    • @gengis737
      @gengis737 4 роки тому +1

      So your army is totally defeated and retreating, but you still boast of "rear guard actions" nobody heard of ?
      And the successful charges of Highlanders of the time were in Scotland, against English.

      USMarineRifleman0311​ because of Wellingtons genious and British still involved in the battle, i don't care whatever percentage it was, they held hougoumont and partook in more of it than any others. Admit it though, no matter what percentage, we won, the French lost.

    • @EzekielDeLaCroix
      @EzekielDeLaCroix 8 років тому +4

      +Chris Allen Don't forget the KGLs who supported the Guards at Hougoumont.such as 1st Battalion, 2nd Nassau Regiment, with additional detachments of jägers and landwehr from von Kielmansegge's 1st (Hanoverian) Brigade. Also, remember there was a good mix of defiance of orders from the GENIUS in Waterloo such as Prince of Orange's refusal to follow Wellesley's orders during Quatre Bras, buying the Allies an extra day to hold off Napoleon.

    • @coocah
      @coocah 8 років тому

      Ezekiel De La Croix​, yes you are right. It was more of an allied victory over France, but you cannot prove that there were no British in the battle, so this argument is quite stale,
