yes there is because you french have the most interestingly silly history of all. You took your most intelligent and best people and executed them. Antoine Lavoisier, probably one of the greatest geniuses the world has ever known, and ya know what happened to him, you executed him. Your king ordered the development of a new device to make executions more merciful and when it hit a snag, suggested a blade that was angled like this: / then you used that on him. you tryed to prevent the germans from rising again, TWICE and not only failed but provied a goal and reason for them to rise, and in the second case, created supranational organizations that were supposed to allow you to control them, but now have left them controling you.
This is while completely true only one side of every story, and as my name would show, I consider at least one brief moment in french history to be somewhat worthy of praise and song.
