According to the first line, we were talking about WW1 :
The French were involved rather heavily in WW1 you'll find

Je suis vraiment desolee que tu m'as malcompris!

'For sure, but not (with all respect) in the second'

Tout que j'ai dit est de la guerre deuxieme, pas la premiere.

J'espere bien que tu m'excuse pour tous mes faux en francais.

France only learned from WW1 that war was to be avoided (perfectly
sensible)
and that a defensive strategy would deter Germany (turned out not to be
true
as we know). Many in Britain made the same mistakes, but you were unlucky
enough to be before us in the firing line.

Yep. "Too few, too late" was also true for the french armies...
