British vs French

[Dean K]

Why French and British dont like each other ?

[JamesBond007]

The French and Anglo systems are the two main choices or alternatives in the West (Germany f*cked that up in WWII) so they are not one, they have been at war with each other a lot historically despite alliances in WWI and WWII, and basically they are just rivals. There could be other less important reasons too but French nationalism is cultural and Anglo nationalism is civic which can also cause friction etc...

I also heard that Because French and English were Catholics and The British people changed the Laws and delete some imporent rules of the Catholic faith. While French still Catholics the British create a new Religion and for that all the wars. Is that true ?

I guess something like that but you are stating it in a less than neutral way and while I do know some of the history on this specific topic I'm not a historian on the issue.

There is no given hatred between them nowaydays, neither xenophobia. If you’re French they will treat you same as others, if you are British and you come to Paris they will treat you shit same as others. If you come to France they want you to talk French no matter who you are. But as for hatred, it’s not really existing.

This rivalry and opposition has pretty much disappeared. (By the way we are in the 21th century, we are literally invaded everywhere, these ancient resentments should be banished...)

The French hate English more than English hate French for sure, certain parts of Paris are quite hostile towards English people

[Davystayn]

I think it is more a love/hate relationship now. There is a resentment to some older french I think, but this dissipates quickly if you are able to speak French. Language plays a huge part

Language plays a huge part. Brits resent the fact that the French are less willing than some other Europeans to entirely embrace English, while the French resent the fact that their language no longer genuinely competes with English in most parts of the globe.
