The Franks under Charlemagne (Charles the Great) were the initiators of the Holy Roman Empire...
the French court of the 16 and 17th century is considered by some historians as the richest in all of Europe
It was the French who really defeated the British in the "American Revolution", their navy, their army and their money

For example in the modern era, it would be useful to start with the study of the Gaullist, and their struggle against the Roosevelt - Vichy alliance
