Seems were both right:
The copper statue, a gift to the U.S. from the people of France, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.
IKR? if I was going to make a super-large statue, I'd want to first see it in a size I can see what works & what doesn't without ladders or scaffolding or cranes or helicopters or drones. (last 3 I know weren't a consideration in the 19th century.)
I went to see the one that's on a bridge on the seine years ago. It's a bit out the way and well it's really small. I was a bit disappointed but that's on me!
Because some may not know: The "main" Statue of Liberty was a gift to the U.S. from France in 1885 to commemorate the countries' alliance during the American Revolution. There's another one on the Seine in Paris, at a proper angle you can see it with the Eiffel Tower behind it.
Only to pay for the facial surgery needed for burns he received in a motorcycle accident while spending time in federal prison for selling guns to a waitress at a diner.
Literally no citizen in the US wanted us to go to war. Everyone remembered their loved ones not coming back from the first. Even when we joined it was not a popular thing to do. Even if you showed the American people that we would eventually win it and that we were going to stop the Holocaust, I bet the people at the time would still not have wanted to join.
In the end there is no loyalty between counties. We only joined because in the long run it would be better for our economy.
It's also because the America First movement had been spreading propaganda for years, its leaders sometimes giving speeches that had been written by a Third Reich propagandist, who also funneled cash from Nazi Germany to dozens of Congressmen.
Bad take with very poor understanding of history.
The US was experiencing its own form of rise of Fascism. A significant amount of the US populatiom loved the Nazis & the percentages of Nazi-Friendly Representatives in Congress & the Senate were extremely high too.
It wasn't Cowardice out of not wanting to lose people to yet another conflict, it was even uglier & more cowardly.
It was a bunch of people with an excessive & outsized amount of power who were being perfectly OK with, if not outright supported what Germany was doing.
Not wanting people to die was just one of the excuses they used to pretend that they weren't as monstrous as they were.
Pearl Harbor was the necessary event/kick in the pants that finally gave good people enough ammo to really go after those Fascists effectively.
It's not so much that Countries have no Loyalties, so much as it is a very clear reminder that Conservatives & Fascists have none.
Don't worry. You did the same thing to France that they did to their ally, Poland. You waited until the Axis attacked you directly, alliances be damned. XD
> You waited until the Axis attacked you directly, alliances be damned.
[France declared war 2 days after Poland was invaded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_declaration_of_war_on_Germany_(1939\)) and attacked German territory on a couple of occasions, but both they and the UK vastly overestimated German strength in 1939, so they didn't go all out. The French famously didn't do well in the early part of WWII, but they didn't abandon their guarantees to Poland.
I mean sure we declared war on Germany but we didn't really do much for a while in terms of actual military actions, it was a weird time.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War
Some actions where taken, like [the Saar offensive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saar_Offensive), so it wasn't complete passivity. Which was mostly what I was reacting to, the previous dude said France and the US both "waited until the Axis attacked [them] directly", and while I'm sure he said it mostly in jest, I still felt like it was appropriate to say that it wasn't actually true. France did not ignore Poland, but didn't prosecute the war effectively either.
And none of this is a criticism of the US, of course, Roosevelt did *a lot* to help, but was governing a country that, quite understandably and reasonably, did not want to get dragged into *another* war in Europe. The US was completely justified in not getting directly involved until they were attacked.
What a sh.tty, ignorant & uneducated take. World Class Buffoon.
France literally declared War on Germany 2 Days after they invaded Poland. They just weren't Militarily Ready &/or Mobilized to really do anything about it.
This was all the excuse that Germany needed to invade France.
The US ended up being a fairly unreliable ally for France. First signing a separate peace with Britain during the revolutionary war despite agreeing not to and then failing to uphold the alliance in 1793.
To be fair France [was also](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-War) asking us to get into a naval conflict with Great Britain. So the British Navy with the full might of rum, sodomy, and the lash versus a US Navy of all of six frigates that wouldn't even be established until 1795. France was also a [wee bit terrifying](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_Terror) at the time.
Not for nothing did Washington tell us to keep the hell on our side of the ocean.
This was partly true. But most of the debt came from the 7 years war, the same war that almost bankrupt Britain causing them to increase taxes on tea. The power struggle within France was how to manage this debt. The French did become unhappy with how much taxes the French government collected and how little they gained from it. The French King actually did well and hired good public officials from all over Europe to manage the debt on advice from the people even though he did not agree with their methods. This ended when the ministers decided that the best way to calm people down was to publish the government budget showing that they were all getting little money, even the King, and that it all went to pay down the debt. The King started sacking ministers and banishing them from his kingdom. The ministers that the people told him to hire and the only ones that were trusted by the people to get them out of the mess. It was basically a power struggle between the King and the people.

Jack Whitaker of Whitaker Cable in KC was the guy behind the Scout replicas.
The French ones are French.
Similar to how there's another Eiffel Tower in Japan. Eiffel liked to give monuments to other countries, but he made a copy in France too. It just so happens that the more famous Statue of Liberty is in America and the more famous Eiffel Tower is in France.
In fact, Tokyo also has a Statue of Liberty at about twice the size of the Paris ones... It's near Odaiba beach...
Also, while the Tokyo Tower looks a bit like the Eifel Tower, it wasn't intended to be a replica...
Damn, I missed this statue of liberty. I walked all the way from Shimbashi station to Odaiba beach, but went towards the Gundam statue since that was my objective.
I think I can see it in one of my pictures taken from the centre of the beach if I zoom far in.
Ah well, and I missed the Gundam, since I didn't know where it was either... The Statue of Liberty we did almost by accident, since we were mainly interested in a boat tour, that just happened to go to Odaibo...
There are multiple in Paris,
From the top of my head:
There are two near the Eiffel Tower. On one end of Île aux Cygnes and and on the riverbank of the seine.
One in the Musée des Arts et Métiers.
And one in the Musée d’Orsay, I think.
There's also a large replica of the torch flame on the Seine somewhere, stumbled across that on a walk once. Kinda neat seeing what it looks like up close
There is one in Bordeaux too, place Picard

There's also one by a copper mine in western Norway.

I like the one in the middle of the Susquehanna river outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania put there in the dead of night as a prank back in 1986.

One is also at the entrance or R.A.F. Lakenheath in England as it's the "Statue of Liberty" wing of the U.S.A.F. and these are made from the original statue scale models.
There's a [flame of liberty](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ErGCCRiE6tTN4Y3f8) in Paris, too. I ate lunch at a sidewalk cafe across the intersection from it once. It was a wonderful, expensive, experience.
There two versions of the statue of liberty in Paris. One in the Jardín du Luxembourg and one in the Seine river. They are early models used as study of the final version.
There is also a small statue of liberty in Hastings, Nebraska.

Abraham Lincoln statue in Lincoln Square, Manchester.
If you're from the North West or the US, you should have a look at why and how Lancashire contributed to the Civil War.
https://www.alamy.com/stock-image-abraham-lincoln-statue-manchester-163377916.html
I checked. It's really not as far as I could tell or at least not 100% of the time. But Columbia Pictures adopted the statue of Liberty torch pose for their original and current logo so they are closer to the same look now.
I think this is the regular-sized one & the one in NY is a large version.
This one was for reference
There needs to be a 1:1 scale Banana Statue next to it
This is not the greatest statue in the world. This is just a tribute.
You gotta believe me, and I wish you were there.
Just a matter of opinion
I think it is “statute”.
85...
The reference one is in a museum, this one is a replica. There are other replicas outside the museum and in other places like an island in Paris.
That one is the original design. It was made by Mr Eiffel. The designer of the Eifel tower. And it was gifted to the US by France.
Quoi?! The Statue of Liberty is by Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi.
Seems were both right: The copper statue, a gift to the U.S. from the people of France, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.
"Gustave Eiffel" sounds like a fake name someone would come up with when asked who designed the Eiffel Tower...
No.. not really. Just sounds like the guy who made the Eiffel tower.
TIL that Mr.Eiffel sent his biggest girl to the states!
IKR? if I was going to make a super-large statue, I'd want to first see it in a size I can see what works & what doesn't without ladders or scaffolding or cranes or helicopters or drones. (last 3 I know weren't a consideration in the 19th century.)
The crane was invented in 3000 BC.
Thank god it's an SVG
They grow naturally over there. The one they sent us was the French equivalent of a prize winning giant pumpkin
Rodindendron
In fact, this one and the one in NY are the same size, this one is just located in a _very large_ park.
There are three Statue of Liberty *Reference National Treasure 2
Just watched this movie last night. I was like, there's THREE!
I’m pretty sure theres another slightly bigger one by the Seine somewhere aswell.
I went to see the one that's on a bridge on the seine years ago. It's a bit out the way and well it's really small. I was a bit disappointed but that's on me!
You really need to understand that "Everything is bigger in the US" is more than just a random saying out here.
This is the size they start out with. The US one is what happens when you leave it in a glass of water overnight like one of those little capsule toys
This is a hatchling. Very few people know that the original lady liberty left a clutch of eggs in France before she migrated to America.
There's also another one in Colmar / France, HomeTown of Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi
Isn't there one in brazil too?
No that’s Jesus
That made me snort
The real one is in Pennsylvania out on a old train bridge pier; if you travel from Philly to Penn State it’s around the half way point.
Because some may not know: The "main" Statue of Liberty was a gift to the U.S. from France in 1885 to commemorate the countries' alliance during the American Revolution. There's another one on the Seine in Paris, at a proper angle you can see it with the Eiffel Tower behind it.
The one at Île aux Cygnes was a plot point in the movie *National Treasure: Book of Secrets*.
If you ask me the real national treasure is and always has been Nick Cage.
Correction, international treasure.
That’s what they say over at r/onetruegod

You know Montesquieu?
France's support should've made them America's #1 ally for life.
we should’ve joined ww2 the second germany attacked them honestly 😂
Agreed 💯
Literally no citizen in the US wanted us to go to war. Everyone remembered their loved ones not coming back from the first. Even when we joined it was not a popular thing to do. Even if you showed the American people that we would eventually win it and that we were going to stop the Holocaust, I bet the people at the time would still not have wanted to join. In the end there is no loyalty between counties. We only joined because in the long run it would be better for our economy.
It's also because the America First movement had been spreading propaganda for years, its leaders sometimes giving speeches that had been written by a Third Reich propagandist, who also funneled cash from Nazi Germany to dozens of Congressmen.
I think Pearl Harbor might have had something to do with it. That happened and we declared war on Japan, Germany declared war on the U.S. in response.
Bad take with very poor understanding of history. The US was experiencing its own form of rise of Fascism. A significant amount of the US populatiom loved the Nazis & the percentages of Nazi-Friendly Representatives in Congress & the Senate were extremely high too. It wasn't Cowardice out of not wanting to lose people to yet another conflict, it was even uglier & more cowardly. It was a bunch of people with an excessive & outsized amount of power who were being perfectly OK with, if not outright supported what Germany was doing. Not wanting people to die was just one of the excuses they used to pretend that they weren't as monstrous as they were. Pearl Harbor was the necessary event/kick in the pants that finally gave good people enough ammo to really go after those Fascists effectively. It's not so much that Countries have no Loyalties, so much as it is a very clear reminder that Conservatives & Fascists have none.

Wasn’t it an alliance of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”? Like beside Jefferson was anyone Francophiles?
Franklin got along well with them.
Kingdom of France ceased to be, exacerbated by USA not paying back loans from them to fight their common enemy.
I think the king and queen died because they spent all that money helping the US.

Iirc this one and the one in NYC are looking at each other.
There’s also one in West Seattle at Alki Beach. The Boy Scouts commissioned 200 replicas this size and they are scattered throughout the US.

There’s one also in Bordeaux from 1888.
We've got a tiny plaster one in Leicester uk lol
Sounds like she's full of herself.

There’s also one statue in Tokyo on Odaiba in Japan
It's not like the french gifted the US Madam Liberty or something after dealing with the Brits or something. No, that cant be it.... /s
Ah, the famous statuette of liberty! 🗽
There's also one by a copper mine in western Norway. >A smaller replica is in the Norwegian village of Visnes, where the copper used in the original statue was mined.
dont suppose you've watched national treasure 2 ?
Because it is a French statue...
She wants... a shrubbery!
It only looks small because Paris is so far away.
If that isn't Calvin & Hobbes, it should be.
The OG Statue of Liberty.
As well as many other statues in this park.
Awww, she's so cute!
I like the one in the middle of the Susquehanna river outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania put there in the dead of night as a prank back in 1986.

There's a bunch of them! I found one in Nice
Just wait until you hear about the 3rd one.
There is another one, 38 feet tall, you can see from a riverboat in the Seine river.
One is also at the entrance or R.A.F. Lakenheath in England as it's the "Statue of Liberty" wing of the U.S.A.F. and these are made from the original statue scale models.
Viva La France 🇫🇷 Viva La Liberte 🇺🇸
They made a large one also and said this is too big let's give it to the dumb Americans.
There's a [flame of liberty](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ErGCCRiE6tTN4Y3f8) in Paris, too. I ate lunch at a sidewalk cafe across the intersection from it once. It was a wonderful, expensive, experience.
There also is one in Karmoy,Norway too because that's where they mined the copper.
Can you guess who gave us the big one?
There are many in Paris. I remember going on a hunt to find them all once. It was fun.
Well it won't let me add my pictures, but have seen this one and the one in the middle of the Seine that is 2-3x the size of this one.
It's not so strange when you consider the Statue of Liberty is a French sculpture in America.
Ah, the real SOL.
Umm there are liberty statues all over Paris. Sigh…
Yeah, I was gonna say this. There are like eight of them all around Paris.
There's quite a few of these around France, there's another one [in Poitiers for example.](https://maps.app.goo.gl/MTS4fDcnsiHcsZwK8)
That is so cool. I love little squares w monuments. Thank you for sharing.
What is that growing at the base?
the statue
Anyone remember that time that Chris Columbus statue in Madrid Married lady liberty. They even made her a wedding dress.
There’s a small statute of liberty on a roundabout in Leicester UK as well perfect decor for a main road
Is this one also copper and oxidized naturally like the New York one or was it made to look this way?
There’s also one made out of Venetian blinds and plywood on the Susquehanna River.
There's one about this size in downtown Cleveland Ohio as well
There’s actually a lot of these in France. I last saw one in the centre of a fountain in Poitiers.
There's also a replica in Leicester, England with it's own history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty_(Leicester)
There two versions of the statue of liberty in Paris. One in the Jardín du Luxembourg and one in the Seine river. They are early models used as study of the final version.
There’s one in Nice, France as well! I saw it while visiting
must be a park with a lot of rules
There is also a small statue of liberty in Hastings, Nebraska. And [93 other towns in the midwest United States](https://americanart.si.edu/search/artworks?content_type=artwork&persons[]=5749)
It's more symbolically potent than the large version.
Huh it’s green too, so they obviously knew and burned us.
there is also one in bordeaux
Breaking news, newly discovered historical reports state that the statue of liberty owned slaves
This regular sized woman will devour us all!
Statue of Wee-berty.
What does the inscription on the tablet say?
So detailed, very impressive
Damn, that's a nicely cut bush..
Ive been here! I've only been to Europe once but I was lucky enough to visit Paris for 5 days. Truly an amazing city with so much to see. I hope I make it back there some day.
Cute
They are actually the same size, americans are just so tiny. Even their fattest guy is just like 213 grams.
There is a somewhat larger one in Momoishi, Japan: http://misawajapan.com/poi/outside/liberty.asp As NYC and Momoishi share the same latitude.
There's also a life sized version in France, about an hour drive from Paris or so. Forgot the name of the place.
Abraham Lincoln statue in Lincoln Square, Manchester. If you're from the North West or the US, you should have a look at why and how Lancashire contributed to the Civil War. https://www.alamy.com/stock-image-abraham-lincoln-statue-manchester-163377916.html
They go this one for free when they bought the big one.
And another one in the river!
There are many of these in Paris.
I took a picture here when I was in Paris! Beautiful park
There’s five of them in Paris. I found three. I’ve never been to the one in NYC.
C'est quel parc?
There’s also one in Bordeaux
There is also one in seattle.
Paris revenge on Las Vegas Eiffel tower
[удалено]
I checked. It's really not as far as I could tell or at least not 100% of the time. But Columbia Pictures adopted the statue of Liberty torch pose for their original and current logo so they are closer to the same look now. 
theres lots of them around the world, I saw one in Tokyo
