OP Dear Jackie: I have thought about that a great deal. I suppose the French resented having to repay the money we probably lent them to buy munitions for the war, and resented even more our post-war prosperity and the conduct of American spendthrift expatriates, while the French economy recovered only very slowly.
Before WWI, my grandfather bought medical instruments from France. My father bought nothing from France. Nor have I, except Bic pens. I know several people who bitterly regretted buying French cars.It must gall (sic) them that we buy so much from the Japanese and so little from them.
