		The french were not that of a great counter to the germans, as the germans wasted most of their forces on attacking england in the battle of britain and then wasted the rest in Russia with lack of heating and oil.
		There was indeed a Second Battle of the Marne, which was the occasion of the great Allied counter offensive, commencing July 18th 1918, which was principally a French action, although the Americans did lend significant and effective support.
		The French have won plenty of wars and battles, almost too many to even bother with (which is why your friend probably didn't bother), and undoubtedly France has had one of the greatest military histories of all time.

	About Prince William and the Cumberland Diamond in 1746
		This stone was originally purchased by the City of London, for pound 10,000, and presented to Prince William, Duke of Cumberland, immediately on his return from Culloden in 1746.
		His habits had became gross, and his self-indulgence, acting on his weakened constitution, made him ungainly; whilst the enmity and jealously of his elder brother, who envied his popularity and feared for his succession, succeeded in flening his character.
		Within a few months (1747), the Allied Army under the Duke of Cumberland was entirely defeated at the battle of Lauffeld, and, whilst this raised the spirit of France, it was fatal to the reputation of our warrior-prince.
