Re: A Test For the Backroomers
France shares two letters with Texas. Holland shares one. UK shares none (Though United Kingdom does indeed share 1).

France because of Louis, Holland because of all the .Org's wonderful Dutchmen. UK is third by process of elimination.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Re: A Test For the Backroomers
Gonna take a shot here:
France militarily came to Texas' aid against Mexico during Texas' bid for independence.
Holland came close to giving financial support, but ultimately decided against it due to uncertainty about Texas' future, ability to repay, and the potential of losing trade with Mexico.
The UK wished to obtain a foothold in Texas for their own interests.

Re: A Test For the Backroomers
That's all I got, bud. My knowledge of Texan history only goes so far, and my google-fu needs much practice.

Re: A Test For the Backroomers
France fought against the colonial English troops, Holland was the first to recognize America's independence, and the UK and America are good buddies nowadays. How it relates to Texas I dunno doesn't everything in the end relate to Texas??
Re: A Test For the Backroomers
Well, if you take just the capital letters it sounds like a certain word and texans swear a lot I guess...and can't spell well?
Re: A Test For the Backroomers
1. Alphabetical order
2. Texas: because Texas is the reason of everything! Everything was, is and will be because of Texas. Accept it.

Re: A Test For the Backroomers
That's easy! France because they helped liberate the USA, who in turn helped the mighty Texan people crush the puny Mexicans!
Holland because they have red light districts (Which appeared in the 19th Century), which are thoroughly appreciated by the Texans.
UK because without the UK, you'd be all speaking Spanish!
BLARGH!
Re: A Test For the Backroomers
IIRC France and the USA were nominal allies in Napoleon's time. Later on France came close to recognising the Confederate States but never did.
Holland - because of the Dutch immigration to Texas? http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nederland_(Texas)
The UK - no idea.
