I was exploring this small historic town in a Spanish language LatAm country recently. It's frequented primarily by local tourists from the closest large metropolis, mostly on the weekends. There's plentiful vegan/vegetarian eateries, an old cathedral square, and lots of natural beauty in the vicinity, etc. It's got that old-urbanism charm with nothing over ~3-4 stories tall. So while I was exploring the place walking around, I stumbled into this cafe / book shop place. They had a coffee bar area, some books, reusable water bottles with local art, various notepads and sketchpads, some jewelry based on pre-Columbian art in a display case, etc.
As I'm looking around, I catch a glimpse of the book for sale. "Mi Lucha" in that chunky red Wolfenstein font and Adolf's face on the cover. I was a bit shocked. Noped the fuck out of there as casually as possible. Just a very WTF moment.
Pretty sure France backed the Confederacy in the Civil War
At least they sold them guns if I recall correctly
it was a join support of the UK and France because they were buyers of southern cotton and saw the war as a way to cripple a potencial rival in the USA, France also use the chaos to invade Mexico and install a puppet ruler but failed, when the confederates lost i think it was the battle of Gettysburg both just drop them as a cotton supplier and supported the Union

they probably sold weapons to both sides, like most European powers
