Also to avoid hurting the feelings of the French, they brought in white people instead for parades dressed as French troops rather than the African troops who saved them.

And as a side note, Africa’s reward for being instrumental in France’s liberation was having the French overthrow many, many of their leaders.

I’m beginning to realize i really don’t want to learn as much about Western history any more. Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin.
