f*** de gaulle and double f*** truman

White French colonialists and most of their descendants are objectively some of the biggest dogs this world has ever seen

nah fam u never seen top boy kmt

British people for the most part aren't the worst

You don't want to f*** Churchill

But yeah I can't believe the French were so eager to start another conflict immediately after the European side of the war ended, with their allies of all people I guess the tremendous loss of face suffered by getting easily occupied, Vichy, Pertain, no invite to Tehran, Yalta or Potsdam drove them to extreme struggle attempts to cut their own slice of the pie.

don't get me started on that half of a man churchill

yeah the french ego was severely bruised. the allied didn't really recognize de gaulle properly up until the allied invasion of france and officially only after. up until '43 pétain was recognized as france's leader by the allies which pissed de gaulle off.

truman was dumb enough to fall for france's/de gaulle's bluff about not taking a stance against the USSR, letting them bankroll the indochina war, with de gaulle indirectly paving the way for the U.S. vietnam war

FDR was savvy to this and didn't want nobody around any colonies
