it's unfortunate, I think that's probably been written out of the textbooks. they don't want children to learn that kind of thing anymore! Elementary School textbooks have been changed they washed history and changed it so it's suitable for them God forbid anyone should be insulted or feel slighted in any way. don't believe in the Holocaust? we'll take that away! don't want your children to know that African-Americans used to be slaves? we'll take that away too!

Bastille Day was the storming of the Bastille prison in the 1700s. That led up to the French Revolution.

WiseWoman, America does have thousands of years of history, sadly the descendants of the indigenous people were slaughtered for land rights....

FunkyMonkey, it is said that hindsight is 20/20 but that isn't always true. A tree with many branches has many diverging paths. One could say that had it not been for the French assistance during the Revolutionary War, we might still be under British rule. Yet if it were not for the British assistance during the French and Indian War, we might be under French rule. During the War of 1812, it was either the France or Spain, I believe, that was giving the British more difficulties that Britain could not bring all her might to bear which had she been able to do so, might have been enough to force us back under the thumb of Great Britain. Who knows for sure what would have happened if any or all of these events were changed.

sthaye, steady on old bean, I think you will find it would have taken quite an effort for your chaps to have vanquished the Hun all by yourselves...still it's good to dream.. I suggest you read some history books rather than watch too many Tom Hanks movies my old China!

sthaye, The French are German,regardless.They're descendants of the Franks;a germanic tribe whom invaded Gaul & kicked out the Gauls.

kjorgenson88, another funny fact;the Chinese & Japanese were also notoriously big slavers.A family wasn't considered respectable if it didn't own at least 1 black slave.

myself, I am proud of my mongrel status. My family history shows at least 7 nationalities. DNA tests added 3 more. Studies have shown mixed breeds tend to be more intelligent and live healthier lives. Pure breeds tend to have more genetic defects. DNA tests show there is no such thing as a "pure" race. Regardless. If you believe in the Bible, we are all related. From Adam and Eve as well as Noah and his family.

It's time to storm the Bastille again in every country betraying it's people by flooding them with illegal immigrants in order to "mongrelize" us into a race of lowest common denominators
