I get sad about history education in America when I see posts like this. Who exactly did you forget?

What exactly do you mean, who am I forgetting? Forgetting about what? You saying the French Army has done something meaningful since then?

Uh, yeah. It has.

Uh, yeah. It has.

I wonder why I always think that happened before. Maybe the order they teach things in, maybe I'll remember this time, but that still doesn't help the cause of France, 1815 was 199 years ago.

Napoleon III conquered Mexico and installed his relative as Emperor in direct contradiction and as a big fuck you to the US.

Going from the starting point on this list and down I'd say their military has done quite a bit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...olonial_Empire

That is some interesting reading. And don't feel bad about history education WB, my last history class was over a decade ago.

Hell, my history education in High School sucked. Most of the stuff I know is stuff I learned on my own time, with a few things thrown in from college. In High School, they pretty much covered the Napoleonic Wars in one day and covered the War of 1812 for most of the week.
