@erikschlangenauge7514 The Franks in Bavaria Probably aren’t Frankish though, they are similar to the French and their name is derived from the conquest of the region. The real Franks still live where they did when they invaded Gaul though, Along the Ruhr, Meusse and Lower Rhine (incl the Dutch part) and in the Southern Low Countries

@erikschlangenauge7514 My point is A that the region if Franken probably isn’t Frankish and B it is not just German history either and the Franks are indisputably part of French history, and Dutch history (with the Dutch being the closest to a modern day continuation of the Franks) and Italian history and the list goes on. The Franks that invaded Gaul weren’t even predominantly from the modern day German part of the Frankish lands but from the South-Western Low Countries, and yes, modern day northern France. The Franks in what is now Germany were also absorbed, conquered and integrated by these other Franks What you mean to say is that the French are not Frankish, which is true. But to say that the Franks aren’t a part of French history is also a ridiculous claim. The entire history of the Merovingian period, the early rise of the Franks, takes place in Gaul. And of course it is the result of the Karolingian breakup that directly leads to the creation of France in the first place. Which is not the case for Germany or other the Benelux. As a fellow Frank, it pains me to say that France is undeniably the state (key word their state does not their nation or people) with the strongest ties to the Franks. Even if their people, language and culture are not Frankish. And there is no “agenda.” This is just reality

@ Calm down, I didn’t say there are no Franks in Germany, there are, just not in Franken. But you said it isn’t French history, which it is And by the time the Franks invaded Gaul they had long spread from the lower Rhine into Roman territory across the Rhine, and it was those Franks, to the east of what is basically modern day Brussels down to Calais-Lille, that united the Franks (in the Eastern Low Countries and modern day Germany) and conquered Gaul and the Allemanic tribes

@erikschlangenauge7514 In your first comment you literally said it wasn’t French history. Calm down and read broski Ny intention was to clarify

@erikschlangenauge7514 Well you edited the comment now, but before it said that it wasn’t part of French history at all. You are a sneaky one aren’t you? But yeah the Allemanic tribes were Germanic?
