On the other hand French is the language of war, the legacy of Napoleon. Almost all military words are French. Sergeant, lieutenant, colonel, artillery, infantry, cavalry (chevallerie), calibre, enfilade, bivouac, reveille, engagement, assault, siege, not to mention marines, army, navy and "military" itself are all adapted from French either via Napoleon or the Normans.
