- England VS France (1700 - 1800) - Into the fire : wars
the spanish succession, austrian succession, 7 years war; American war of independce and the french revolutionary wars - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I am an American, but I acknowledge we couldn't possibly have won the Revolution without France. It's frustrating that most people here are oblivious to that, and cover their ears whenever someone challenges their intelligence.
That is incredibly inaccurate. The English were growing tired of fighting the colonies, we were so far away and the war was starting to cost a lot. Eventually the English would have become involved in yet another war with France. Which did happen, at that point they would have let us become our own nation. The French helped us by sending advisers, rather than troops. Secondly, it is important to note that we repaid any sort of debt to the French three fold. World War 1, World War 2, and our involvement in Vietnam to help protect their Asian assets. And let it be known, also, that when the world was on the doorstep of doom during the cold war, France asked that all NATO forces be withdrawn from its nation. So we thank them, yes, for their nod in our direction during our struggle for independence, but we were just a pawn used to spite England.
Michael Champagne No and you are making huge assumptions. The British were very capable and very close to crushing American resistance. The French were definitely a help to you militarily especially out on the seas.
Michael Champagne america only joine ww1 in 1917 and by the end on 100,000 troops had been sent which was nothing
Michael Champagne Bullshit! So there was no French troops at the siege of savannah? try over 2800!
WW1 Germany sank the Lusitania killing american civvies! They didn't enter the war to help France for a debt owing.
WW2 Pearl harbour brought the Americans into the war with the view to crush Germany first before allies would concentrate on Japan.
Where did you learn history? If America stayed apart of England you would all be better educated by the looks of it.
Blue - They were capable, but not willing, nor did they truly have their heart set in this war.
Joe - 100,000 FRESH troops to help a beleaguered allies was more than enough. and to Barry's point, 100K is quite a lot more than 2,800.
Barry - We entered WW1 because Germany tried to get Mexico to invade us, that was the last straw, we were sad about the sinking, but not sad enough to engage in the war, because we were isolationist. Siege of Savannah? I am not arguing that they sent troops, my point was that it was not enough to make a huge impact. They had 4,000 total. Nothing. As for my American education system, you can come over here and try to swim in our collegiate system. Sorry we don't have a test to pigeon-hole our students for their entire lives. Here, you can be whatever it is you want to be, on your own merit. That is the beauty of the American system. Get your head out of your ass.
As an Englishman, both are great countries with great histories, lets just appreciate our joint histories.. Few countries have fought 2 hundred year wars... These rivalries are so 18th century and outdated.. Lets put down the longbows and bayonets dear brothers!
as a french man i totally agree with you...
I agreed with you, until you started talking about longbows and fucking bayonets. What?! XD those aren't a thing anymore m8.
Ice Blade It was a joke, as during the 14-15 the centuries the longbow was the primary weapon, at least for the English side. And later the 17-18th centuries, the musket bayonet was the primary weapon!
Some historians talk about three hundred years' wars :
- 1159 to 1259, the 'Capetian-Plantagenet rivalry'
- 1337 to 1453, the classical one.
- 1689 to 1815, the modern one.
Rome and Persia battled for 600!
Officier Anglais: "Vous autres Français combattez pour l’argent, alors que nous les anglais , combattons pour l’honneur."
Surcouf : "Monsieur , un homme se bat pour ce qui lui manque le plus"
The Spanish war of Succession is way more a french victory, or at least a draw, the French kings still ruling Spain
But he agreed to take no influence from France so let’s call it a draw 😂
No it was a British and Portuguese victory because the British and they’re allies were winning and then the french and Spanish offered terms for peace because they were loosing and wanted to end the fighting and the British accepted.
@@jesterofspades3903 Clearly not, France won almost all the battles after 1709, Denain, Douai, Fribourg, Bouchain, Syracuse, Birhuega, Villaviciosa, Barcelona. Only two battles lost in 1710, (Alemenar and Saragossa).
Indeed, France was in a bad way in 1709, but will completely recover after the battle of Malplaquet (Pyrric tactical victory of the allies and strategic victory of France), and will win almost all the battles which will follow, in particular the battle of Denain, decisive victory of France which confirmed the French victory in this war.
@@louisixlefourbe8075 good point, the treaty was good for the British, and close allies but bad for the Austrians, and so if anyone really lost it was the Austrians who lost most of they’re power to the bourbons. The terms were very good to the British, Dutch and portugese and Britain gained gibraltar aswell as islands around the world and some territories in North America. Britain didn’t really loose much but gained lots. Yes Britain’s performance worsened towards the end (mainly because the duke of Marlborough left. I suppose the reason the french and Spanish were the first to offer terms for peace was just to end the fighting, however I wouldn’t call it a British defeat.
@@jesterofspades3903 Yes, England retained Gibraltar but failed to see the Bourbons settled in Spain. That's why I'm talking about a draw eventually. But one can also speak of a victory for France, because it achieved its main objective, which was to obtain the Spanish throne.
But above all it was a huge defeat for the Habsburgs.
from 1743 - 1815 there was 123 battles that was fought between France and Great britain, france won 63 and brittain 60, but to be faire many times France faced the brittish and their allies alone where the brittish usually fought with allies. It was rare for the brittish to face the french alone on the battlefield. This is not any patriotic shit, its facts. Brittain was a navy power, got a decent army but they could not match the manpower and armies of France.
ex Bouvines ;)
All that matters is the numbers. If France has 60K vs Britain, Austria and Hannover with 60K its still even
If anything, with even numbers, it’s still harder for the Allied lot with language barriers between different groups of soldiers
At the start of the 18th century the population of France was around 24,000,000 and by the end of the 18th century it was about 27,000,000
Whereas the population of Britain went from around 7,000,000 to 9,000,000. Britain had 1/3 the population that France did. Yes the British often used allies at battles but half the time those allies were paid to fight for the British like mercenaries, for example the Hanoverians, hessens, Brunswickers, Dutch (sometimes), Saxons (in the war of the Austrian succession) and Russians (American war of independence) so it still counts as British victories and even battles where the British did use allies, it was usually the British leading the allied army such as when Marlborough would often lead joint armies of British,Dutch and German soldiers in victories against the french, or when the duke of Cumberland would lead allied armies against the french, or wellingtons allied armies. My point is both Britain and france won great victories.
Britain has always had a much smaller population, albeit tougher, and was not big enough to fight a large country such as France on their own. In fact the British have always fought well on a shoe string budget. We are one of the world's lucky people.
french bashing came from jealousy.
Vive la France
neilw ; tellement vrai ! Et comme disait Clémenceau "l'Angleterre est une province française qui a mal tournée" mdr !!!!
And Brit bashing also comes from jealousy.
@@Yellow-kp9gs guillaume le conquérant is born in France ! Is french not normand ! Go back to your pigsty asshold !
@@Yellow-kp9gs corsica is french ! Paysan !!!!
French destroyed whole Europe so many times. The French revolution is probably the best exemple. From 1790 to 1815, the French beat all the Europeans armies alone ...
So, we can't compare France & England ....
Destroying europe is nothing to be proud of,france was regarded as the lunatic nation of europe until germany got its act together , united and whipped france 1871, it would have it again 1914 but of fourse the number one country GB stopped them.lol

At least you are not so bad because you have some sense of humor lol
Nicolas FR The French did not beat the British armies. During the Napoleonic wars, the British pwned the French time and again on land and at sea.

Are you royalist ?
¡Vive la Eglise et le Roi! Saluts de L'Argentine.
Ce n'est pas pour rien que la France est le plus grand pays d'Europe en taille - sans compter la Russie. L'Angleterre est toute petite à coté, même la Pologne est deux fois plus grande. Ils n'ont jamais réussi à s'installer sur l'Europe continentale, ils ont toujours fini par se faire botter le cul.
Entre 30 et 40 % des mots anglais viennent du vieux français. Le blason de l'Angleterre, est le blason des Plantagenêt, dynastie de rois français qui ont régné sur l'Angleterre pendant plusieurs siècles. La devise de la monarchie anglaise est française " Dieu est mon droit ". Même leur hymne " God save the queen " est d'origine française, écrite par Mme de Brinon. Le modèle parlementaire d'Angleterre vient de la période des Plantagenêt. La liste est longue je pourrais continuer longtemps...
Pas besoin de rappeler que la France est le pays d'Europe qui a le plus de victoires militaires, bien plus que l'Angleterre.
N'ayez jamais honte d'être Français, soyez en fier.
Vive la France !
+Just Getting By Hahahah. British weren't strong enough to conquer Europe, that's why they were looking for new continents. Napoleon's Empire was destroyed by Russia , Austria and Prussia. By 1815 and Waterloo there wasn't French Empire , yes Napoleon became Emperor again , but France wasn't Empire . It had 1792 borders. Read about 1812 campaign in Russia and War of 6th Coalition in 1813 - 1814, especially about Battle of Leipzig. Learn some history, than talk.
+mace slot Common misconception: The British have never fought in a war in Europe on their own.
A quick Google search will tell you what a pack of lies that is...
The British have beaten the French, Spanish, Dutch, Ottamons, etc... without any allies.
Wars the British had won involving the French without any allies: Carnatic Wars, Fourth Anglo-Dutch War (the French were allied with the Dutch), Jacobite rising of 1715, Jacobite rising of 1745, Revolt of 1173-74, First Barons' War, Glyndwr Rising, Dummer's War, 7YW, Edwardian War, Lancastrian War (1st phase). The list is endless...
"During its history, British forces or forces with a British mandate have invaded, had some control over or fought conflicts in 171 of the world's 193 countries that are currently UN member states, or nine out of ten of all countries (or 89% of UN Nations)."
Not bad for a tiny, isolated "Northern European" island. :D
Common misconception: The British only fought against the native population in the empire. Utterly false.
The British fought against their fellow Europeans for the colonies, Australia and NZ are the exceptions. Such as Carnatic Wars, 7YW, etc...
Britain was a maritime power first and foremost, whereas France was a land power.
Britain has always been a maritime power and we take great pride in the fact that we had the most powerful navy in the world (it's still the best, just not the largest any more), even our sayings and idioms are influenced by our nautical history, the sea is in our blood.
This also means we just thrashed the French at sea as well.
The challenge is exploring the unknown, charting the seas and facing new challenges. This is probably a cultural difference, but our interests have never lay in Europe. We always had our sights set on the world instead. Yet, despite that, we still have the Channel Islands and Gibraltar, that's more than what the French have in terms of European outposts. Lol
As for the "Napoleonic Wars", the French also had allies and the allies of the British kept switching sides. For instance, at "Trafalgar" the Spanish were fighting with the French but a few years later they were our allies again. There are many more examples...
Although Napoleon did try to conquer Europe, he failed in the end in the same manner as Hitler. Lol
The Romans conquered Europe because their empire lasted for hundreds of years and its legacy is still felt today, the French didn't as they failed to maintain their little empire...
So take heed to your advice, read a book before commenting again...
+Undecided-But-Engaged Voter
The British actually got defeated by the Ottomans in 1804. While fighting on their own.
USMarineRifleman0311 Yes, when the British empire was a fledgling power then. I didn't say they won every battle against them, but they did win a few, without any allies. So my point still stands.
@Just Getting By shuuuuut !! England is french province ! Ha ha ha !
yo prefiero Francia a gran Bretaña :))
lol unfortunatly i dont speak spanish but i totally understand what yu say
Vive la France !
Gusto de patricios. Vive le Roi et Vive la France!
Vive la France
Great Britain is a great nation. I just want to say that it was easy for them to defend thereself on an island compared to France with Germany, Spain and Italia for neighbors like for WWI and specialy WWII
How very peevish. It was our navy and airforce that defended our great island, not a stretch of water. I think the question we should all be asking is why on earth couldn't the French army defend its borders effectively? As it has done for centuries before, being the land power as it is...
@@thevoiceless8567Please never forget the sacrifice of the french soldier, If france have not stay and defend in dunkerk for the re-embarkation britain would have lost the war, also if britain win the battle of england is because hitler give up, the truth is that the Royal Air Force was giving up. Yes the royal air force with spitfire was very powerfull but not enough in number and The german navy was rebuilt and very powerfull.
the French army was considered the first in the world and many think that Russia would be invaded in 2 weeks if france loose in 1 month. this defeat is still a great mystery today for a lot of historians, our military force was sufficient and our tanks better than the panzer but this spirit of magino and disrepute of the air force was an average for germany.
De gaulle wrote " l'armée de metier" french didnt read but german did and applicate this for a lot of german theorician of war about tank,etc (guderian for exemple)
@@Yellow-kp9gs No if we lost at dunkirk it would have been a disaster, no the RaF was not better, you said yourself the german make bad decision, i am not upset, i just want the true

Spain and france cause the king of spain and farance was brothers
Fine Job! Can you tell me where the clips of the French Revolutionary wars are from?
Thanks for your reply. Nice video, by the way.
According to the BBC:
There have been 53 major wars in Europe
France had been a belligerent in 49 of them; UK 43.
In 185 battles that France had fought over the past 800 years, their armies had won 132 times, lost 43 times and drawn only 10.
Giving the French military the best record of any country in Europe
the French army wasawsome
What videos/films they used for this video?
I would love to watch them. Thanks!
Hey great video. Can you give me a list of the movies that you used?
The Frenchman was amazed, so he said, “I want a wall around France, so that no one can come into our precious country.” Again, with a blink of the Genie’s eye, ‘POOF’ - there was a huge wall around France. The Englishman asks, “I’m very curious. Please tell me more about this wall. The Genie explains, “Well, it’s about 150 feet high, 50 feet thick and nothing can get in or out.” The Englishman says, “Fill it up with water.”
Spanish War Sucession english victory ? LOL
It's a FRENCH victory against whole Europe !
I wanted to work on the point of vieuw of both countries, The french wanted not only to put an french men on the Spanish throne they wanted to unite both empires, while the British wanted to stop this unification
But yes the french actually won the war,
It was actually a draw. Philip V of Spain was able to keep his title, but had to renounce his claim to the throne of France, because the allies were originally concerned that under the same guy, France and Spain would create a Bourbon superstate. However, the French and Spanish had to give up significant amounts of land.
@LeSpeedien England was the clear victor of the war. By 1706 France was exhausted financially. By the end of the war the Dutch were saddled under so much debt that they lost most of their overseas colonies. The French Fleet was destroyed when the French scuttled their own fleet in the attack on Toulon in 1707. In other words the British had no naval rivals by the end of the war and their exports doubled in the next 50 years.
French victory ? Tell that to John Churchill
Thank you for the video.
What movies are those?
Fanfan tulipe, Quebec History, Patriot, French Revolution.
Thank you. Have a good-day!
Napoléon est le meilleur stratege
As an American, I must say thank you, France, for your assistance in the War for Independence. It would have been a longer, bloodier war if you haven't stepped in with your Navy at Yorktown, and a good number of foot-soldiers in the remaining battles of the Revolution.

Thanks for this nice comment ..
I tip my hat to the French
+Suave Slicktaire no problem thx for ww2 guys
Can I get a list of the movies you used to make this? There seems to be some pretty fantastic source material here.
Thanks a lot! Your info is appreciated. I will try to figure out from which movie was the batte of Fontenoy taken.
BBC HISTORY : Wars in Europe in 800 years = 53 / France was in 49 UK in 43 / 185 battle for France , 132 victories (lost 43 and 10 battle 50%),,the best record in the world ! Today and since 200 years,,,french army and british army are friends Long live GB , Vive la France , viva Europa !
France had one of the largest empire and is the biggest remaining one.
This video was made due the French-English rivalry.
I think the biggest remaining empires are by far he Russian and Chinese ones
Wie heist dieses Lied was im Hintergrund leuft ?
Is the Fanfan la tulipe movie spoken in French only or can we click on English so I can understand it? Thinking about buying it on ebay and prob will but if I can't understand it then I won't. thanks.
Britains and French, the greatest and oldest ennemies. Every time they fight it was a giant war that changed the face of the world. The two had the greatest empires in mankind history. I think, we can say the two are ex-aquo. (ps: the brits are the best : ))
lol t'as raison les pays les plus importants et conséquent de l'histoire sont la France la grande Bretagne l'Espagne. .. et après je dirais l'Italie et l'Allemagne
+la terreur de la mer L'Espagne était "le premier" empire des 3 pays que tu as nommé. On l'appelait "L'empire sur lequel le soleil ne se couche jamais". Mais son empire devenait plus faible, notamment à cause de la bataille de l'Armada Invincible ( qui n'était pas si invincible que ça XD ) où l'Angleterre s'imposa. Par la suite, dans une partie du 18 siècle, ce fut la France qui domina le monde, jusqu'en 1763, la fin de la Guerre de Sept ans, où se fut à nouveau l'Angleterre qui domina, jusqu'au 20 siècle.
+Erwann Lejeune l'Espagne n'est pas "l'empire sur lequel le soleil ne s'est jamais couché"...c'est l'empire britannique mais bon ...
+la terreur de la mer Ces deux empires portaient ce "titre".
+Erwann Lejeune lol très juste mais quand tu regarde une carte des colonies françaises, on peux en dire autant de l'empire colonial français
100 years war? france won
Roni First that warwasn't in the time period indicated by the video... but yes France won... and they won gloriously and sent the brits fleeing across the channel
Suave Slicktaire The English not the brits!
SAME THING basically and still today England has complete control of Britain
sad but true the tiny country of whales or Scotland has barley any power
England occupied France for 100 years....Nazi Germany barely managed 5 years.
Could someone be kind enough to point out from which movie/series are taken the battle scenes for each war?
@turner2123 what's the name of the movie used for the austrian succession?
Can't we French and British just insult the Americans instead? :/
We would kill you all
That seems unlikely. Given your supreme overreaction, I would love to point you to your nearest psychiatric ward, but I don't know where either of your live, and I know that the American healthcare system is such a disgrace you may as well not bother.
Oh dear. You seem angry, little boy. Why don't you get back in your pram? If I do die by an American or Texan, I do hope it is by one that at least knows basic English grammar. You're such a charity case, aren't you?

See, I don't think that you are European at all. Regardless, you certainly can't be British, for you have forgotten that British people are, at heart, pisstakers and the most sarcastic bunch of people in the world. I do apologise if you thought that my comment was genuine as opposed to sarcasm. However, France and the UK are by no means weak. The UK has the most cultural power in the world. France and the UK have huge economies each with very strong and VERY well-trained armed forces. Furthermore, the EU has the highest GDP in the world, with the highest funding for RnD in the world. Whereas mine was a joke, yours wasn't. Shame really.
Timothy Integra Wingates Hellsing
It's evening here actually. It's not my fault that you are not intelligent enough to recognise sarcasm. Also, America's armies are not as well trained as France's or the UK's. Nice try.
What are the list of movies you used these from? I want to want to watch them.
Hey dude! could you tell me please where are they from the pics of the spanish succesion war??
UK is a great nation, and our best enemy, with great achievments as much political as industrial over its history, but frankly speaking, i think there's a kind of jealousy from the Brits towards our beautiful France, why that? Because they all know we got the most beautiful country on earth, with an incredible diversity of landscapes and resources, whereas England is a smaller island with not much resources and diversity, otherwise they wouldn't be bothering us by moving to France every year. We have the richest literature in the world, the best food and wines, Paris and Versailles are by far more prestigious and grandiose than London, we got so many castles spreading over our country, wonderful medieval villages lied on natural peaks overlooking no less beautiful valleys, our language is also far more complex, subtle than english, so to be honest, many english people should recognize what I said above. But ,as French, we also have to recognize we remain quite upset about being defeated so many times by Brits, especially in Azincourt, L'Ecluse, Poitiers, Waterloo, to mention the major battles, UK has also been more pragmatic than France on political, economical, and industrial matters, France always had a sense of grandeur, sublime, beauty, embodied by great figures like Jeanne D'Arc, Napoleon, Louis XIV, whereas UK always been less beautiful, sublime , but more pragmatic and talented as they had to counterpart their lack of resources by developing new ways of development, i would say France is like a spoiled child, gifted in so many fields so maybe is more fragile someway, whereas UK has become more stronger as it had to develop talents and energy to overcome its lacks.
Are you joking comparing your feeble ltin lingo to enhlish? And having the crazy thought french literature is vetter than english? Scratching my head here, Shakespeare alone is better than every single french writer, we the English cannot be compared with when it comes to the written word.And i have norman blood.
Barry Rayson Barry my friend you should calm down, first it would be better for your nerves, secondly it will prevent you from typing mistakes like enhlish, or vetter.... and it is a French guy speaking. I notice you don't talk about the main subject of my comment, which is our fundamental difference, and the reason why you Brits are in a sense jealous of France. Finally, Shakespeare is of course a great playwriter but i was talking about the diversity and richness of French literature, which is recognized throughout the world. Shakespeare is like an isolated spring in the desert of your literature, whereas we have Montaigne, Moliere, Racine, Rousseau, Voltaire, Balzac, Stendhal, Proust, Camus, Sartre,Celine, Zola, Flaubert, Maupassant, to mention just a few, whose wrintings influenced so many, and try to understand subtility and complexity of French language before talking about feeble .
Barry Rayson Why do you insult ? You are not aware of the fact that you repeat the same stupid prejudices and cliches about the French like cheese ( I like it a lot by the way, especially the stinky one) Monkey ( Why monkey? It is an insult in UK? ) Surrender( I guess you refer 1940? Well , that s true but we didn't without fighting, and please be honest, you were also protected by the fact UK is an island, otherwise i am afraid the queen would have been wiped out by the Werhmacht as well) Eating ( That very true, i love French food, you re right). Concerning literature, i won't argue with you, it is your point of view after all, but i think most of the specialists would consider both French and Russian literature as the richest ones, and it is not a coincidence if the Russian nobility was speaking French rather than Russian over 18 and 19th centuries. That s it , i am not arrogant, another cliche about the French like saying all Brits are snob, but realistic. You still didn't argue the underlined meaning of my first comment Barry, come on.... Be honest , many Brits are jealous of France , that s why you hate us, but it is true as well that we are upset about being defeated by you over history but not always..... We kicked Brits out of France at Castillon, won at Bouvines, Fontenoy, at Yorktown in US. French is a language of ideas and concepts, English a practical and simple language, dedicated to ACTION, not thinking...... Bye Barry
Whatever you say gentlemen... The fact is France is more beautiful, with a culture with no comparison with the British, we got everything in such a small country, so yes i think many Brits are merely jealous of our land., But you are of course too proud to recognize it. And Barry my friend for your knowledge please learn that France is the country in Europe with the best record in terms of battles victories over its history, and you guess what my dear rosbeef? The info is from BBC. ... we lost some battles yes, but which country didn't, but finally France kicked you out of France at the end of Hundred years war, defeated you at Yorktown in US, Fontenoy, and so on. Finally to respond to your argument Nippur about the better strategic position of UK, ... Yes UK is protected from invasion by the fact it is an island but France has a far more geographical asset with both continental borders and the longest coastline amongst all the EU countries but UK developed a better Navy , that is a fact. Anyway, no more time to lose gentlemen, just do me a favor, stay on your island and God Fuck the queen! Bye my dear Barry

All these wars for the ego's of a couple of monarchs. Just a note in history i think should be taken into account.
Not really. In the eighteenth century there was a massive rush for power, land, prestige and cool stuff to trade, leading to many wars for land in colonies for the trading and Europe for the prestige and power. But their egos were an important factor.
Hm, what did you use for the war of Spanish succession?
The bit from the "Spanish War of Succession" is a quick interlude of the battle of Blenheim in the pre-WWII TV movie "The Gathering Storm" the scene of the Battle of Fontenoy (War of Austrian Succession) I have not seen outside a 4min clip on youtube, the Seven Years' war scene depicts the Battle of Quebec, it's part of a history documentary of Quebec, the American War of Independence scene comes from the movie "the Patriot" and I'm not sure where the last is from.
It's not England vs France
Its Britain vs France
Since act of union

BlueonGoldZ In an English restaurant you often find English food,...
England need Wales Scotland and North.Ireland to feel strong pathetic...lol
England has a much smaller population than France
And france needs to give americans money to fight the british because the french cannot fight and the french are the worlds greatest cowards lol ;)
Aethewald Aedilric

What is the name of the movie that the Austrian Succession is from?
What movie is this from? Please tell me.
The battle of Minden 1759.
A battle more forgotten than Waterloo, Blenheim etc,
but one of the British Armys greatest victories.
Similar to Kohima 1944.
Great victories but not well known.
Could someone name some of the movies? The one at 1:05 looks very interesting in particular!

what is the name of the movie about the Spanish war of succession?
Quais os nomes dos filmes amigo???
(portuguese)
Where are the clips from?
As noted by battles like Malplaquet and Verdun, the French army was capable of extraordinary resilience and fortitude despite taking excessive casualties. Though the thing I never understood about the War of the Austrian Succession was that though the French made huge gains territorially and lost hundreds of soldiers, King Louis XV gave pretty much all of it back! Could someone please explain?
Turnet videos of battels from film's? What film's?

britain had a much smaller army but managed to defeat larger ones thanks to the training, they were the only ones to train their firing with live ammunition, and trained for 6 months just firing and reloading, they were the fastest shots, some men were even able to do 5 rounds a minute, and some of the re-enactors i fight with can aswell, also british powder was not as course as other nations,
What movies are these scenes from?
+Joe Margevicius For the seven years war, the footage is from "Canada, a people's history". The American war of Independence is from "The Patriot". And the French Revolutionary wars is from a film only in French, "La Revolution Francaise, Les Annees Lumiere." Though I have seen the film with English subtitles.

@LordGeorgeRodney About 2 DB you claims that they're almost foreigners not French. So what can you say about Battle of Britain? As Churchill said, "never have so many owed to so few". Who were those few? A considerable part of then were Polish and Czech aces :p

These are the stats from the BBC History: There have been 53 major conflicts in Europe, France was belligerent in 49 of them and the UK in 43. Among the 185 battles that France delivered over the last 800 years, his armies have won 132 of them, and have lost 43 (10 undecided) which gives the record of French military victories in Europe.
Friendly your rivals favorite;)
What Movie???
@LordGeorgeRodney In the end, we won the 3 last major battle (Denain, 3rd Barcelona, Villaciosa) ;)
