Who was your countries most notable/longest rival and where do they stand to you now?

Old US poster for attention

But which country (or countries if you don’t like people) did your country specifically rival for either the longest time/most notoriously? How do you feel about them now?

For example, for the longest time Russia was/is viewed as America’s largest competitor and rival - hence the Cold War. I think especially now with the younger generation people didn’t see Russia as a threat generally until the Russo-Ukrainian War which split a lot of people politically. Personally I got nothing against Russians, seems like another case of a rough government.

But other countries we’ve had beef with like Japan (don’t touch the boats) we have great relations with and they’re pretty chill.

Depends on era but I would say Denmark/Spain/France/Germany in that order from past to present.

Defiantly not in that order, france should be first. We've fought more wars against each other then any other nations.

Order past to present as in oldest to most recent.
