I've always been fascinated by how France and the UK have similar stats in almost every thing
We are not similar. That's just geography the reason you think we are similar
@Shire_Tommy1916somme youd be suprised how similar the UK and France is. our History is too interconnected to not be similar.
@@jamesoakley4570 history: sadly the Roman empire, Celts and Germans did indeed create us, but there is no modern similarities: our culture, place-names, mannerisms, identity, and looks are all different. I feel no kinship to the french
@Shire_Tommy1916somme well if you talk culture wise then yes, ofcourse.
but im talking about History, language, the Monarchy, The Norman's and most importantly the rivalry, the rivals are there because we are the same, but we needed to see who which one of us was better (which was us :) )
@@jamesoakley4570 and yet we found our equal in WW1: the Germans. The Somme / Passchendaele. I don't see any rivalry with French.
Don't forget both these countries have the longest monarch's
It is japan over 1,700 i think
longest monarchs..? u mean longest monarchy? or was elizabeth II packin a 9inch?
Good point!! #1 and #2
rest in peace Queen Elizabeth

@@fuop8718 Technically neither England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland are independent due to being in a union.
Its kind of funny how similiair they are with things like population, military budget, import, export, the amount of overseas territories etc. The two countries are very much alike.
Cuz we’re Historic Colonial Empire Rivals. Fought each other for a Thousand Years. Since the Hundred Years War to Napoleonic War. We’re still love/ate each other.
🇨🇵🟦⚜️⚔️🇬🇧🟥👑
that is because both of them competed in EVERYTHING and the workers who are the ones that are doing the actual competing would be motivated to be better than its historic and largest rival
And actually people in Paris HATE United Kingdom... (i live there)
@@captainsprint8902 hmm not really dude
@@captainsprint8902 unfortunately... but parisians hates everybody, even countryside france
With a rivalry that has existed for a long time, we can still say that we are almost the same, being French 🇨🇵❤️🇬🇧
We are not similar. And this rivalry isn't talked about in England
@@Englishman-_-Mongolia2022 same in France, but you can’t deny that we have kind of the same developpement
@@Englishman-_-Mongolia2022 It's not talked about in either county, because they are allies for 200 years. This is Where' its remarkable, because for the previous 800 years. It was virtually non-stop battle, all over the world, either by proxy, or in earlier times, directly.
Whether you liike it or not, it's the greatest relationship/rivalry in human history(Positively and negatively) and the greatest influence globally, in every part of the world, "by far "
@@Rowlph8888 Britain should have sided with the Kaiser. It irritates me my g.g.grandfather shared a trench defending Belgium - I don't even care about belgium.
I'm British and I agree we're almost the same. What makes us seem different is the French language which is really difficult for the English.
As a Brit who’s been to France, I love both countries 🇬🇧❤️🇫🇷
Also loved the montage of Boris Jonson being a bozo 😂 (probably could’ve made it longer tbh)

France and UK also share around 30% of their vocabulary and where pretty much for 300 years the same country
67million is the number of citizens, there is around 7million immigrants in France and in the UK
Cuz of William the Conquerer from Normandy Britinny back in 1066
They weren’t the same country but for a few centuries England did have French Kings. And whilst the English lanaguge has 30% origin in French that doesn’t mean you’re going to be able to understand anyway near that amount of French without studying it just because you can speak English. Imo, That’s why the overlap on language doesn’t feel as large as it is, but the Norman conquest did certainly change the language quite a lot. However, it is a Germanic language with influence from a few places.
@@archivesoffantasy5560 the reason you can’t understand French to that degree as an English speaker is because both languages tend to change the pronunciation of the base Latin/Greek words quite a bit. Whereas if you look at languages that are closer in pronunciation to the Latin root words like Spain and Italy it’s much easier for them to understand each other.
So it’s a matter of pronounciation and not necessarily different words that are difficult to understand. I say this as someone who speaks both.
@@archivesoffantasy5560 we don't look the same, we don't have similar culture or mindset, we have nothing in common regarding place names and surnames. As a Briton I feel no kinship to the french
@@Englishman-_-Mongolia2022 There are differences, but physically, we are roughly the same. Watch videos of people trying to distinguish between ethnically (For many generations)English, French, and German citizens, It is really difficult
Genetically we are very similar, but culturally very different, and this is healthy.
You made a mistake: France was not created in 1792. That's the creation of the first Republic, but France was a thing before that.
Better dates would be:
481, Corronation of Clovis as King of the Franks.
843, creation of the Kingdom of West Frankia after the death of Charlemagne.
987, Hughes Capet's corronation and the kingdom is now called Kingdom of France.
Yes, but I am talking about modern France. Technically, modern Germany was founded in the 1900s but was still around before that
@@global.things modern France isn't a thing you can really put a date of creation on. Why not 1944? Or 1958? Or 1870? Or 1848? Or 1852? Etc... France doesn't lack dates for changes of regime, and "modern France" gradually happened during the last centuries.
Germany was created in 1870, France was created in one of the three dates I gave you, Italy was created in 1861 etc... there wasn't the need to invent the concept of "modern X" when the countries have a clear date of origin.

@@tunistick8044 I’ve watched his others and there good. So this one will be good
Lol
I see both countries have a lot of similarities. but I am happy Seeing comment section that both of countries are respecting each other how good they are
It should be noted that any atrocities between these countries happened so long ago no one remembers them or thinks about them. I look forward to the day that Britain and India have this kind of relationship.
When you mention things about France, it’s not only the metropolitan you should talk about. Nouméa, Cayenne and others have their places in the biggest french cities, same for the physical geography, France is even more diverse naturally outside of the metropole
It’s stunnig to see how many the countries are similar. As a french, I would say just that the population of the city of Paris is 2 millions but counting the suburbs Paris population is more than 11 millions, so the Numbers are a tiny bit different 😅

Pls make a video on comparing India and Pakistan in a long video like this one

Uk and frances gdp population and etc is so simillar
From this video i think we can tell why they where rivals for hundreds of years
It was mostly just England Vs France tbh, Wales got involved via proxy and Scotland weren't actually involved at all (they actually hated the English more than the French) until the union.
Still funny big time rivals are now allies thanks to NATO and the UN but they managed to maintain historic friendships, with France getting close to Germany and the UK (England) and Portugal having one of the oldest alliances in the world.
@@lynxfresh5214 I'd say they're friendship began bc of they're mutual hatred of the German Empire
Nice
For next comparison can you do S. Korea vs N. Korea
this video actually goes so hard
Thanks bro!
France and uk are so similar,like brothers or sisters
They have historical rivalry and always compete like siblings
But they also were allies like siblings too
Major “only I can tease uk/France now GIVE IT TO ME”
I could actually see them as siblings
And the kings actually kinda help it more
France kept the ancient Romans stuff and encouraged to paint like them in charlemagnes ruling while uk taught how to read during the ruling of Alfred the great,even though they were different time periods it just makes it even out as the British could read and the french had preserved the writing and paintings.
to us british people the french (historically) are like the annoying little brother
No, we are not brothers
We are not family
Can u do San Marino v Malta please
Nice vid can you make romania vs hungary?
eh we didn't fought over centuries to get this evenly matched!
Seven Years War = Massive L for your empire, you never stepped foot successfully on North America again.

Sorry about that but French geography is hugely better than UK geography.
I mean... Landscape in France are so differents and "côte d'azur" is honestly the best place of the world.
