>>20850809>Both world wars were officially declared in FrenchUtterly meaningless, literally just a formality that treaties were signed in French for far longer than French was ever relevant in real life
>>20850810No, they've been speaking English for centuries, when America was an irrelevant backwater built on slavery. Nobody even used the Internet until a Brit invented the World Wide Web. American media itself would be nothing without British actors and directors and other such talent. Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings, James Bond, Game Of Thrones, Marvel, so much British dependence
>>20850816>Prior to the US, French was the lingua francaLiterally just in signing treaties. A meaningless formality. People were learning English in the 1800's because Britain invented the industrial revolution and had the world's biggest empire and more powerful economy. French had no real power and doesn't today.
