It is a day of celebration of when the Mexican army defeated the French. There was just a program on the Discovery channel about 2 hours ago about it! Check the listing I'm sure it will be on again.

Efficaces pour quoi ? ... Au résultat, tu as de jolis mollets, des cuisses renforcées et un fessier raffermit. Mais si tu en fais trop souvent tu as des douleurs aux genoux. Donc tu es prévenu. \nAh oui ! Choisis bien ton appareil. Plein ont tendance à faire du brut quand tu l'utilise longtemps. C'est gênant.

By the sound of it, it sounds as you have a choice of anything from the French Revolution or Napoleonic period between 1789 and 1815.\n\nMy choices would be\n\nMob seizes Bastille, frees prisoners\nJuly 15 1789\n\nNapoleon crowned as French emperor\nMay 19, 1805\n\nDuke of Wellington defeats Napoleon in "close run thing"\nJune 23, 1815\n\nNapoleon Bonaparte, former Emperor of France, dies in exile\n6 May 1821

Please ignore any babelfish translations as they'll be a load of rubbish, especially in this special context. \n\nIn order:\n\n1 One last push and we're there (Lit meaning 'one last effort and we will have it)\n\n2 The French Infantry at war (Lit. 'the French Infantry in battle')\n\n3 The success of our african army and colonial troups (Lit. The day of the african army and colonial troupes)\n\n4 The French marine soldier's gala will take place Wednesday 24th May 1916 at 2pm at 'La Comedie Francaise' sponsored by the Minister of the Marines and the Under Secretary of State and Art. A benifit event for the work done, and a gift from France to her marine soldiers\n\n5 (I'll translate only the main message at the bottom). 'Frenchmen!, everyone sign up to the 4th drafting of 'La Defense Nationale'. (The French army).

Not really. Check this out:\n\nFrench Military History in a Nutshell \nThe Complete Military History of France\n\n- Gallic Wars - Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian. \n\n- Hundred Years War - Mostly lost, saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently creates The First Rule of French Warfare; "France's armies are victorious only when not led by a Frenchman." \n\n-Italian Wars - Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians. \n\n- Wars of Religion - France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots \n\n- Thirty Years War - France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the other participants started ignoring her. \n\n- War of Devolution - Tied. Frenchmen take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux. \n\n-The Dutch War - Tied \n\n-War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War Lost, but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of French military power. \n\n-War of the Spanish Succession - Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved every since. \n\n- American Revolution - In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France claims a win even though the English colonists saw far more action. This is later known as "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to the Second Rule of French Warfare; "France only wins when America does most of the fighting." \n\n- French Revolution - Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French. \n\n- The Napoleonic Wars - Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British footwear designer. \n\n- The Franco-Prussian War - Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly girl home alone on a Saturday night. \n\n- World War I - Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline. \n\n-World War II - Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song. \n\n- War in Indochina - Lost. French forces plead sickness, take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu \n\n- Algerian Rebellion - Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule of Muslim Warfare; "We can always beat the French." This rule is identical to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans, English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux. \n\n- War on Terrorism - France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to Vietnamese ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's. \n\nThe question for any country silly enough to count on the French should not be "Can we count on the French?" but rather "How long until France collapses?" \n\n \n\n"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. All you do is leave behind a lot of noisy baggage."

I think you'll find that Britain has had us much involvement in wars as our American cousins.\nAs for the French, their track records with wars has been pretty crap since Napoleon!\nI hear French tanks now have 4 reverse gears & one forward incase the enemy attack from the rear

Nobody has heard about Napoleon here? We basically conquered Europe and went to Moscow (no other country has ever done that) then the Great Army was destroyed by russian winter and the Prussians and English finished us at Waterloo.\n\nsee wikipedia, you've got two thousands years of history to cover\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_France

It was part of a much bigger war fought around the world between the French and British--the Seven Years War.  In the French-Indian War, it was Brits/Colonials/Indians vs. French/other Indians.  The Brits won.
