American ideas ALREADY tore France apart. Has everyone forgotten the US-supported French Revolution? Where we stabbed Louis in the back after he saved our asses in the Revolution? Where thousands of random people were murdered, Communism found its genesis, and a 20-year long state of near-constant warfare completely changed Europe?

Communism found its genesis

Nationalism as well. People forget that.

True, but a sort of Nationalism already existed in the sense of extreme duty to country. The French revolution had some positive effects but many, many negatives.
