France has shown themself to be made of much sterner stuff in the last couple decades

WDYM? France has been participating in plenty of undeclared, unofficial and gray zone wars practically since WWII till now.

the stereotypes and jokes like to make out

These change with time. Most of European history the stereotypic image of French people was much tougher than that of Germans.

After 1971 - yeah. Interwar - no. After that - again yes.

EDIT: 1871
