[sullafelix]

Okay, I thought I was the only one.

That map is hideous and I have seen some bad ones. That's right up there with AH's 1914.

Fortunately MWIF has put right that hideous wrong [&o]

[ezzler]

Really like the sand coloured CW units. Can actually see the numbers.
Are they sand in MWIF or still the blue?

[ezzler]

I .. I see the map with the matrix logo now.

Still, its nice to be able to fox the 'red alert' Japanese navy into a trap because their Admiral didn't see the CW blue coloured fleet in the blue coloured sea box.

Why did ADG do that??

MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!! Silly Sulla05 & Warspite1 Newblettes! GAZE INTO THE EYES OF THE DRAGON & DESPAIR!!

[SLAAKMAN]

What the hell is wrong with you? Do you forget who and what I am/was??? I fought for the glorious Fatherland against the evil Red Empire. Had I not been taking a lunch break, eating chips and French(surrenderers)fries and chips, Berlin would never have fallen.

BECAUSE OF YOUR FAILURE TO SECURE VICTORY YOU MUST PAY THE PRICE! YOU WILL COMMAND THE RUSSKIES IN YOUR NEXT GAME WHILE SILLY MR W1 COMMANDS THE BRITS!! I CRUSH U BOTH LIKE GRAPES!

Lol! You have been eating to much popicock mr.c. We did declare War on England for impressment and illegal boarding in 1812 remember? I'm ashamed to admit this but America didn't pay back one red cent to France after the fact. I'm talking millions... Back then. It was huge and embarrassing. Without France by god we would be a British commonwealth country. Makes me up chuck in my mouth just thinking about it.....

Years of bad money management and poor crops lead to the French Revolution

Yes. Agreed.

To say that by helping the Americans out in which they did pushed them over the edge.......they could not recover from that.

Meh. I don't believe the commitment to helping America was sufficient to 'break their backs'. It probably didn't help matters, but they had a lot of other problems simultaneously.

I'm certainly willing to consider any primary research you have that indicates their involvement with the American Revolutionary War was the root cause of their collapse though.

I'm thinking mr. Chicken boy should go back and read a book or two on this matter.

Ummm...have. Thanks.

We did and still do I feel owe France for helping us throw off the yoke of the tyrant king George.

I think we did owe the French a debt of gratitude for their help with the Revolutionary War and sticking a finger in the eye of the English on our behalf. Once upon a time.

Of course, Napolean's privateer wars (that preyed on American shipping off our coasts) didn't help our relations any. We would have been within our rights to declare war against him and them in the early 1800s as a result of these purely illegal piratical acts.

Our debt to the French was finally paid in full (and then some) with our involvement in France during the First and Second World Wars. Either we're even or they 'owe us one' in the international karmic ledger.

Perhaps. But revisionist history works both ways. Without us, they would have either been fully Nazi held to this date or-alternatively-under Soviet influence. I bet either prospect makes them throw up in their mouth a little too.

Even-Steven. Done. I'll genuflect to the French for their aid and assistance some 200 years ago when I hear regular Parisian praises about the sacrifice of the Americans in both world wars. They've moved on too.

Hey, Iowa-you may want to review your Embargo Act history. Found here. It's an interesting read:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embargo_Act_of_1807

Upshot: BOTH the English and the French were harassing our shipping and empressing our sailors. BOTH OF THEM. To the point that an exasperated Jefferson passed this somewhat punitive act against BOTH OF THEM.

I would have expected the English to be schmucks about that time. They'd been nothing but trouble since that whole Declaration of Independence thing.

The French were taking advantage of our goodwill and debt of gratitude for aiding us during the Revolutionary War. Not the way "friends" treat one another. We would have been within our rights to make war on the French for these actions, regardless of what they had done to help us some 33 years prior. Under new management, the French weren't what they were as Allies. When that happens, one loses faith and loyalty.

So, our 'debt' to the French was tattered in the early 1800s, after the French duplicity. Then it was fully paid in WWI and WWII. No need to get your digestion all catywampus for a debt that was rendered moot many many years ago.

There is also new threat as always. The New World Order concocted by the Illuminati is on the rise. We must dismantle this New World Illusion by uniting those in France & everywhere to achieve sovereignty. The Prophecy has foretold these events. Prepare yourselves!

Good grief [8|]

Three things: a) the anti-British stuff is getting really boring [>:] b) NO.YOU.WOULDN'T. You are not really suggesting that you had a one-time, use it or lose it shot at breaking free of the UK? c) non-payment for services rendered? Read a WWII history book. The US owes France nothing - quite the reverse.

The United States government paid off all debts to the French government in 1795.

The American Revolution, contrary to the propaganda that has been endless repeated since 1776, was not a struggle of oppressed colonies held down by brutal British soldiers and subject to outrageous taxation by a tyrant, George III.
George III was not a tyrant, the tax burden of the colonists was actually less than that of citizens living in Britain, and the soldiers were the colonists best (in some cases only) defense against attacks by Indians.

What is your point? That the States really had no reason to want their own country?

For the vast majority of the colonists, no they didn't really have any reason to want their own country. A small group of liberal elitists and wealthy business owners decided that they wanted their own country, and through skillful use of propaganda (the "Boston Masscre" was a set-up event) combined with unpopular actions by the British government managed to whip up enough popular support to declare independence.

[:D] LOL! Yes, our beliefs of the last 236 years are entirely without reason. Down was up, black was white and clearly we didn't know how good we had it under the British yoke. Oh, if only we could take back that clearly unwarranted decision. Why, British rule was so popular that there were no American volunteer forces, excepting those ginned up by liberal elitists, business owners and propagandists. Remarkable revisionism.

Hey-can't we at least say that the people felt pretty compelled by events to (successfully) revolt openly against British rule? Or will you succumb to the unproven and illogical opinion that they only did it because they were brainwashed heathen?

Only 40% of the colonists actively supported the rebellion, while 20% were active supporters of the British government; the rest were neutral. When 60% of the population either doesn't care or actively opposes a rebellion, it's not exactly accurate to say people were compelled to revolt, is it?
The fact is, it was a small number of elitest-led agitators whose actions led the British government to enact increasing unpopular measures in an attempt to regain control of the colonies. Once enough people, even if a minority, were upset enough to take up arms, the rebellion occurred.

OK. By the same logical extension, you would have had an even smaller minority rule to stay under the British then. No elitists there in that bunch. So, there would have been a VERY small number of elitist-led agitators / loyalists whose actions fomented the status quo at the expense of independence if your descriptor held sway. I'm sure that they weren't manipulating public opinion towards the monarchy...[8|]

Something got those people upset enough to revolt. I'll not say that it was an elitist-led propaganda campaign to initiate, foment and sustain the revolt over several years. I'll give our forefathers the benefit of the doubt. Rather than ascribe their actions to psychological manipulation and brainless groupthink, I'll say that their rationale was solid for their time. Was is exclusively the elitist propaganda that shifted public opinion? Nope. The British brought it upon themselves with their unpopular and usurious laws too. Whoopsie-daisy.

wealthy business owners

That says it all. Dear God. Do you or have you worked for a living? If so I want you to tell us, was your boss/people who paid you POOR??? I bet not. What am I implying? Duh, without wealthy business owners who the hell would pay people??[X(][>:][X(][8|][8|][8|]

I can't imagine why no one realizes that SLAAKMAN is actually George W. Bush, according to many of a certain political BENT to be the most evil human to ever live. In 1551 S. Ambrose discovered Brazilian Peanut butter and that changed history. Everyone knows that all evil is rooted in something. Evil comes from THERE. I am not ranting. Go repair my toilet, it leaks urine from Barry Goldwater and Barrack Hussein Obummer. Hey, you kids get off my damned lawn. George Bush was given the presidency on the day of his birth, by Michael Corleone. And then I discovered someone had stolen my gold eagle coins to pay for SLAAKMAN's plastic surgery. Anyway, I hate ranting conspiracy nuts.

And here I thought he was Lyndon Larouche in disguise [;)]
