      Arise, children of the Fatherland,
      The day of glory has arrived!
      Against us tyranny
      Raises its bloody banner
      Do you hear, in the countryside,
      The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
      They're coming right into your arms
      To cut the throats of your sons and women!

      To arms, citizens,
      Form your battalions,
      Let's march, let's march!
      Let the impure blood
      Water our furrows!

      What does this horde of slaves,
      Of traitors and conjured kings want?
      For whom are these vile chains,
      These long-prepared irons?
      Frenchmen, for us, ah! What outrage!
      What fury must it arouse!
      It is us they dare plan
      To return to the old slavery!

      To arms, citizens,
      Form your battalions,
      Let's march, let's march!
      Let the impure blood
      Water our furrows!

      What! Foreign cohorts
      Would make the law in our homes!
      What! These mercenary phalanxes
      Would strike down our proud warriors!
      Great God! By chained hands
      Our brows would yield under the yoke
      Vile despots would have themselves
      The masters of our destinies!

      To arms, citizens,
      Form your battalions,
      Let's march, let's march!
      Let the impure blood
      Water our furrows!

      Tremble, tyrants and you traitors
      The shame of all parties,
      Tremble! Your parricidal schemes
      Will finally receive their reward!
      Everyone is a soldier to fight you
      If they fall, our young heroes,
      The earth will produce new ones,
      Ready to fight against you!

      To arms, citizens,
      Form your battalions,
      Let's march, let's march!
      Let the impure blood
      Water our furrows!

      Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors,
      Bear or hold back your blows!
      You spare those sorry victims,
      Who arm against us with regret.
      But not these bloodthirsty despots,
      These accomplices of Bouillé,
      All these tigers who, mercilessly,
      Rip their mother's breast!

      To arms, citizens,
      Form your battalions,
      Let's march, let's march!
      Let the impure blood
      Water our furrows!

      Sacred love of the Fatherland,
      Lead, support our avenging arms
      Liberty, cherished Liberty,
      Fight with your defenders!
      Under our flags, shall victory
      Hurry to thy manly accents,
      That your expiring enemies,
      See your triumph and our glory!

      To arms, citizens,
      Form your battalions,
      Let's march, let's march!
      Let the impure blood
      Water our furrows!

      We shall enter the (military) career
      When our elders are no longer there,
      There we shall find their dust
      And the trace of their virtues
      Much less keen to survive them
      Than to share their coffins,
      We shall have the sublime pride
      Of avenging or following them

      Children, let Honour and Fatherland
      be the object of all our wishes!
      Let us always have souls nourished
      With fires that might inspire both
      Let us be united! Anything is possible;
      Our vile enemies will fall,
      Then the French will cease
      To sing this fierce refrain:

      To arms, citizens,
      Form your battalions,
      Let's march, let's march!
      Let the impure blood
      Water our furrows!

  • @thediethrower1803
    @thediethrower1803 6 років тому +12

    Why did unmodified France and Britain fail while Hungary and Romania succeeded? Well there are a few reasons for this. First of all The AI is terrible at dealing with a situation where they own land in many parts of the world. Often sending troops to defend useless bits of African or Asian land instead of keeping them in the mainland where they're actually needed. So two nations without colonial possessions have a better chance of success due to actually keeping all their troops in their own country. Second of all France and Britain are democracies so they don't take land when they win against nations that don't join a faction, instead they puppet them or force them into being a democracy and otherwise leave them alone, which is fine and dandy if your new Allies member has time to build up, but if you're at war with the whole world that puppet is going to get murdered before they become useful. And, number three is that France sucks. They have near China levels of negatives to go along with their seemingly purposely bad AI.
