Ahh... France... the home of
Paris, the Eiffel Tower (which was at one point the tallest building in the world) the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre (not to be confused with the UAE Louvre) and many more architectural wonders. Its national
day is July 14 (Bastille Day) which commemorates the 1789 storming of the Bastille, which was a pivotal event of the French Revolution. The
French also have amazing cuisine, such as the baguette, fries (even though fries were invented in Belgium) the croissant (it has an ancestor from Austria called the kipferl), the pain au chocolat, the macaron, and many more. It also shares its fair share of
football clubs, like Lyon, Marseille, Lille, and most notably, Paris Saint Germain. It has a rich and cultured history, from Gaul (
Roman France), to the Carolingian Empire, (a well-known empire in the Early Medieval Times), to the Kingdom of France, to the First
French Republic, to Napoleonic France, all the way to Modern France. The capital city of France is obviously
Paris. However, despite winning Two World Wars, founding the European Union, with five other nations, being a permanent member of the United Nations, it still gets memed on for "Surrendering to Germany". Poor France. Doing all these wonderous achievements and still getting bullied by the
internet.
