That’s stupid. Humans always did and will always do horrible and ‘evil’ things independently of there country. France did horrible things, UK did horrible things, Spain did horrible things, … . This title do not leave room for nuances or how French people thorough times fought for there rights and rights of others. France is the country which brought on the table what we know as human rights. So yes, evil men in power did evil things, but good people tried to make the world a better place to live in, and that’s true for every country and even gafams.
France was especially brutal in their colonialism. And the massive hypocrisy of their new liberalism “All men are equal” (as long as they are white) and other BS used to destroy MENA to this day largely originates from them.
