Hasn't anyone invaded France yet? Mind you, I suppose its a couple of hundred years since we Brits were last at war with them...

Anyway, Happy Birthday France! Wink

Ah, you see, Nazi Germany was well-versed in invading but France, by example, coyly let them in and taught them the art of being invaded and the premise of defeat.

Well, considering the initiator of this post (Björn), the Prussian victory at Issy and consequent occupation of Longwy, culminating in a treaty on November 20, 1815, come to mind. Respectively, the ending of the U.S. War of 1812 wasn't a particularly happy event for Napoleon. WWI events turned former partnerships sort of topsy-turvy.
