What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

Today I randomly surrendered to a German colleague!

French boots stomped in Berlin for many, many more years than the Germans were able to goose step in Paris.

France today is basically the same size as when germany first came into being.   People that were French back then are pretty much still French and still live at more or less the same places now.   Much of Germany as it was when it first came into being is no longer German, and further more much of the ethnic Germans who had lived in those areas for centuries had been driven out. 

I’d say upon final analysis, Germany’s high water mark was somewhere during the first 20 years after it came into existence in the aftermath of thr Franco-Prussian war.  but in the long run it is France that decisively won the long 1870-post 1945 war whose first battle had been  the Franco-Prussian war of 1870.
