The Nazis may very well have been extracted from France, but it would have been the Soviets that did it.

Trump is “wrong”.

France was already defeated before the U.S. rescued them from becoming a permanent part of Germany.

You aren’t LIBERATED, if you had not already been defeated...

Is this even controversial?!

They were defeated not once but TWICE.

Hilarious that it’s even a discussion. Let’s revise history today kiddies so that we can make Trump look like big meanie!

Wait!

What's the difference between "being defeated" and "siding with the enemy"?

Well France was defeated and in only 40 days in WWII.

As for WWI, they and the British could have maintained the stalemate with Germany forcing both sides to the negotiating table. Technology favored defensive warfare and both sides were utterly exhausted by 1918. Neither had the strength to break the other’s lines and even if they did, they didn’t have the logistics to exploit a breakthrough.

American strength carried France to the victorious side in both World Wars. That is undeniable.
