Run and Be Recognized

December 17th, 2005 by Kevin

On this day in 1777, France formally recognized the United States as a sovereign nation and quickly allied with it against the British.

Which is in interesting contrast to today, where the United States reluctantly recognizes France as a barely functioning nation that has the odd habit of carrying a white flag-shaped \”blankey\” around with it everywhere it goes.

History is an odd thing sometimes.
