Talking about France, many people call the French Gallic rooster, and Frank and France are also nicknames for France. A country has three nicknames, and how did these nicknames come about, let's talk about these nicknames in France.
As early as a few hundred BC, Europe was in chaos like a pot of porridge, and many ethnic groups divided their spheres of influence into their own enclosures, and within a few days they were fighting with each other. Among them is a group called the Celtics, which is not the NBA team. The Celtic group did not talk much, especially liked to fight, and beat off the Greeks of the year. So they successfully occupied this area called Gaul, because this land highly coincided with today's France, so the Celts in France were called Gauls.
But they didn't have a few days of peace, and they ushered in the expansion of the Romans everywhere. So the two groups fought a tough battle, and as a result, the Romans were overthrown. The Romans did not admit defeat, so Julius Caesar led the Romans back to take revenge and fought another battle, which also broke the Celts to pieces and basically conquered Gaul. After winning, people are still not relieved, and they give the Celts a nickname, and this nickname is called Gallic chicken. In Roman pronunciation, Gaul is pronounced similarly to chicken.
But who knows that although the Celts are a little savage, they have a particularly good mentality. They thought that the rooster's courage and dexterity could drive away the darkness, such as King Louis XIV of France was the one who was beheaded, Louis XIV thought that the rooster was united, vigilant and especially represented the wise and brave people, so many people were brainwashed to accept this nickname, not only the Celts, but other occupants also called themselves Gallic roosters.
Therefore, the Gallic rooster was originally a derogatory nickname, and later it became a proper name.
And how did the two nicknames Frank and France come about. After Caesar became the boss, it was because of covering the sky with one hand that it caused serious dissatisfaction among others, so he assassinated Caesar. His nephew Octavian took Caesar's place and established the Roman Empire, which dispersed and Rome was divided into two states as the empire grew. Western Rome divided the surrounding Germanic peoples into pieces, and the country was so many and chaotic that fights became commonplace. Western Europe fights chicken flying dog jumping, there is a person can not stand it, he is Charlemagne, he unified the countries of Western Europe and established a huge country, this is the Frankish kingdom.
The country was not yet divided in the end, and was divided into three parts just a few hundred years after the unification of the Frankish kingdom. East Francia is probably what is now Germany, Middle Francia is Italy, and West Francia is France or France. And this is where Frankia and France come from.
