When have the French ever resisted anything, militarily speaking?



Well, there was the Algerian Civil War, the conflict in Indochine, WW II ( sorry that Maginot thing didn't work out)! Ahh, they were one of the gracious hosts of the Great War, Russia being the other. The Siege of Paris (no resistance, no siege! Duh!). Then there was that Napolean character who did, along with his countrymen, quite a lot of conquering and resisting. There is quite a bit more of French resisting, all the way back to Julius Ceaser and the Gaelic wars.

But other than that, the French have resisted nothing.
