Yes they are.

They won the hundred years war pretty convincingly.

At least we won more wars than the US ever started

But the Normans were Scandinavians.

I would agree that France and Japan seem like complete cultural opposites - and yet Japan is fascinated by French culture.

If all those battles through the long centuries were about who got the choicest land, then the French win, obviously.

edit to add: Mad props to the Norwegians too.
