I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

- World War I
- Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States. Thousands of French women find out what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline

From my studies Papa Jofre almost lost the war at the outset. As the Germans swept in from Belgium he attacked the Germans to the East.

So successful was this that the Germans almost made Paris. Joffre, against all odds, managed to stabilise the French line which gave us a chance to join in and that was it for the next 4 years.

Joffre almost lost the war in the beginning and caused the war to drag on for four years.
