"If you'll check, I believe you'll find that the French won that war. It was their finest hour." - Cincinatus

I made that statement as a joke... But I will go so far as to say that the war was won by not only the French, but a whole host of other nations as well. The measure of the contribution made by the French to the final outcome is certainly not any more outstanding than the contributions made by those that crossed the Channel or the Atlantic.

They lost more men proportionately than anyone else in WWI, and kept at it.
