Someone give some help here....where and when did this spite for America start with the French?
My impression is that it started with de Gaulle. He felt he was not being treated with proper respect by the Brits and US during WW2 (even though he was on Brit soil and would have had no army but for what they Brits rescued from France and then re-equipped).

He also felt that France should have emerged freom WW2 as a major world power. On par certainly with the UK and more likely the US. Not likely. He went into a snit about it and ordered all US troops off French soil. The clown would not go all the way though, and pull France completely out of NATO.

Maybe we ought to do that for them.
