Kinda silly saying stuff like that. The French army was very powerful back then and the U.S. war of independence would most likey have failed without their help.

Compared to 1939 when France had a standing army of over 1 million troups and they still couldn't keep the Germans from invading?

No. Black powder residue is not toxic.

And the Germans beat back all of their allies at a place called Dunkirk, where my uncle was killed serving in the Royal Scots,they conquered all of non-neutral western europe, they darned near got Great Britain and the soviet union. Hard to fault France for folding, keep in mind the world was just coming out of the great depression and in tight economic times, the military budget usually gets slashed. Germany had a big build up ahead of the rest of the world and we all know how they financed it too.

no- for about the millionth time- black powder is a combination of saltpetre, charcoal, and sulphur- they used to use the stuff to cauterize wounds,and take away that "certain " male desire- that's what the salt petre does-
