France has to be one of the more militaristic european countries. Until the 20th century, a lot of Europes wars essentially boiled down to "France fights everyone else". They quite frequently won.
In the lead up to WW2 France was the most vocal country in opposing Germany's militarisation. It was England and the US that always held back...
