I also think Chamberlain is poorly treated by history btw although that's a different topic.

France is Germany's running dog. France was squashed by Germany in 1940 (albeit by military means) and it is being squashed by Germany right now. Some facts (which I hope formats reasonably):
______________FRANCE_______GERMANY
Exports________$523 billion____$1.4 trillion
Imports________$612 billion____$1.1 trillion
Unemployment___9.1%________3.4%
Credit Rating____AA___________AAA
Why are you people not acknowledging German hegemony?
