You didn't defeat shit in WW1, and had to be carried by the other allies in WW2
Emperor Charlemagne unifies Western Europe
Ah yes, Emperor Karl der Große, a Frankish (Germanic) ruler
So you're saying France later took their land by conquering it from Germanic people? That's the opposite of the message you're trying to send
I realize I'm arguing with someone who's not interested in historical reality over a single WWII stereotype, so this is where I'm going to end it. Thinking that writing Charlemagne's name in modern German means he wasn't a pivotal figure in French history is fucking stupid. The people of France are directly descended from the Gauls and the Franks, the French language was heavily influenced by Latin and Frankish, and French culture and political divisions were heavily influenced by the Carolingian dynasty
The French are just germanised Latins, no glory in that
