What is your favorite moment in France and England's history?

Some of my favorite moments in their history are:

When Winston Churchill pledged that the United Kingdom would continue to fight for France's freedom

When Winston Churchill referred to France as "our [England's] dearest enemy".

When the United Nations was first formed it was England that insisted that France be a permanent member of the organization.

When Germany began its attack on France in 1940, British troops and French troops again fought side by side.

In the Battle of Dunkirk during WW2, the English helped the French soldiers trapped there escape across the channel to England

In March 2008, when Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that "there has never been greater cooperation between France and Britain as there is now".

On 2 November 2010, when France and the UK signed two defence co-operation treaties. They provide for the sharing of aircraft carriers, a 1000-strong joint reaction force, a common nuclear simulation centre in France, a common nuclear research centre in the UK, sharing air-refuelling tankers and joint training

On 26 March 2008, when Sarkozy had the privilege of giving a speech to both British Houses of Parliament, where he called for a "brotherhood" between the two countries and stated that "France will never forget Britain's war sacrifice" during World War II.


The relationship of King Richard of England and King Phillip of France- "They ate every day at the same table and from the same dish, and at night their beds did not separate them. And the king of France loved him as his own soul; and they loved each other so much that the king of England [Richard's father] was absolutely astonished at the passionate love between them and marveled at it."
