Explaining something to the morons who think the Franks were only aristocrats and not peasants. The indigenous French people are rooted in the Frankish ethnicity. Lets start with what Gaul is.
Gauls were a mix of Celts and Germanics according to the Roman sources, which is the source you are using to call them Gauls in the first place.
Northern Gaul occupied by a Germanic tribe called Belgae, southern Gaul becoming Gallo-Romans, a Celtic Latin mix, after Caesar exterminated many of the Celts.
According to Caesar the Belgae were born of the Germans and Northern Gaul includes Northern France and Belgium, and it was this part of France that the Franks ruled, however they migrated into Southern France too intermarrying.
Everything I say is based on historical sources and it is supported by modern genetics which places France and Germany on an almost identical place genetically.
The idea Franks were simply the ruling class and not also peasants is not rooted in any historical documents. Its just based on weird American fantasies that like to pretend Germanic=nobles. As if most Germans weren't peasants.
We know most Germans have always been peasant farmers and the same was true of the Franks. Every French person is part Frank and the Franks are the spiritual core of modern France.

France once ruled Europe and received tribute from the Scandinavians even. So much for muh based vikings. Franks are the natural rulers of Europe.
Didn't know germanic franks were such retarded faggots

No theyre romans haplogroup j2

There is many haplogroups in France, some are Roman. There is Frank haplogroups.
As for Spain, many spanish surnmaes are Germanic, Rodriguez is base don Roderick, Gomez is Germanic. French Lambert and Leger is Germanic too. You can see the Germanic character of France by observing surnames, and you can examine Germanic influence on spain by observing surnames, they have even found runic insrciptions in Spain.

What's so retarded about peoples inability to see France as Germanic is the fact these same people will recognize England as Germanic, but how do they think Germanic tribes made it to England? They obviously passed through France North France is entirely Germanic and Southern France all has Germanic DNA
Noah Howard
"French people" means nothing. I'm a breton from Brittany, so genetically I'm closer to an English than to the common French
Aaron Roberts
This France doesn't exist, and any identity that would link itself to that non-entity is likewise something else.
Cameron Johnson
So basically the Frankish people have to heirs?
I do not accept that. The Franks do have heirs, denying Franks their right to heirs is an act of cultural genocide.
Nicholas Young
That is why France is the France of kings!
Joseph Harris
I wouldn't go as far as to say the French don't exist. However, their identity is much younger than others, only completely solidifying after the French revolution.
Asher Sanders
May I add than my ancestors didn't speak French 100 years ago but breton And it's true for many regions of France

You do realize that Ancien Regime France was a thing right? Their identity died with the Revolution to sate the hunger of Universal Republicanism. With the cultural revolution forced upon France with the standardization of its education system and the sidelining of French cultural identities, that genocide is already done; except in the Languedoc and in Brittany, the genocide is already complete.
Jonathan Long
>Universal Republicanism. Yes, that's the French identity. Parisian cosmopolitanism.
>Yes, that's the French identity. As if. French identity was born out of the Hundred Years' War out of a need for an unified and centralized realm for the Latins living near the HRE, Spain and Britain. It was defined by the absolute refinement of its feudal system, its good interclass relations pre-absolutism, and the dominance of christian ethics, that would lead to the continental Scientific Revolution. Republican France is only a shadow of that glory.

Bretons have Germanic DNA, they are not related to Irish Celts. They are related to Welsh Celts, Brythonic, and Bretons have experienced and infusion of Germanic DNA from the migrations of various tribes including perhaps the Belgae, and various Saxons.
