What is your country's worst defeat that could have become a "What If" scenario if the outcome had been victory ?For France it's mandatory The Battle of Lincoln in 1217.Basically, the French prince Louis the Lion has been in England for some time and is trying to seize the throne. However, he is about to suffer a land defeat at Lincoln.Since England is like a prison protected by water, he cannot request reinforcements from France.If he had won at Lincoln :- England becomes Capetian (mainland France)- England is becoming 10 times more French-speaking, English is becoming obsolete over the years.- Magna Carta is doomed by French kings- The Kingdom of France became an unprecedented superpower in medieval Europe thanks to maritime control and high centralization.The world could have been a better place if he had won at Lincoln, tfw
What are some benefits of the world speaking french instead of english?

>>221699047According to my calculations, Western civilization would have had a 200-year technological advantage. For example, by 1800, satellites had already been launched into space. All this thanks to the French way of thinking, which differs from the English way.
>>221696961Battle of Calatafimihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_CalatafimiIf the Two Sicilies won (it was very much possible btw, what probably happened was Landi was paid off to lose) Italy could be split in half to this day
You'd simply end up with two kingdoms ruled by cousins who fight each other though>Muh personal union
>>221699269>All this thanks to the French way of thinking, which differs from the English way.????? Please elaborate more
>>221699047>>221699047Retarded frenchoids could finally speak it everywhere without getting side-eyed for refusing to learn english. Cant stand french pipo they have such a high ego for their language for some reason
There's no reason to believe that a French monarch wouldn't have just become Anglified over time if they spend their life living in England like ending up happening anyway. It's too isolated from Europe.
>>221696961Mongols.Iraq's inflection point.
>>221704300English is just a very inferior version of French though, it’s like some retarded Swiss German dialect became the world’s language in 1945 while standard German got sidelined
>>221704430The Mongols spared the Christians and churches during the sack of Baghdad lol
>>221704525It's about the situations where everyone will talk in English to eachother so they can communicate even if they have different native languages and French pipo will just be faggots and refuse or have this unbearable accent like they're not even trying, similar how it's unbearable to listen to Indians speaking English, bit at least Indians try. French pipo don't even try
>>221696961>The Kingdom of France became an unprecedented superpower in medieval Europe thanks to maritime control and high centralization…and more importantly thanks to the inclusion of the English people into France
>>221696961Our worse defeat is a self defeat. The liberation of Europe should have only been a change to a more favorable occupier, what a blunder.
>>221704575>clichés from 1970*yawn*
>>221704525And can we pls remove retarded words like portemonnaie out of the German dictionary? I mean wtf even is that? It's not even remotely written like it is spelled out. This is another thing is retarded about them. These motherfuckers can't spell like normal people
>>221704600It is in fact still true. You wouldn't understand. Your brain is already infected with this language
>>221704616>It's not even remotely written like it is spelled outThe Latin alphabet was not invented for Germanic languages. Stop the cultural appropriation and invent your own alphabet if you’re unhappy about ours.>>221704637And yet everyone, including French people, is speaking English ITT.
