The Kingdom of France was a right wing, integral nationalist, and catholic government headed by General Francois de la Rocque and his National League. In order to solve overwhelming social problems, la Rocque turned public anger against Germany and perpared a remilitarization to take back Alsace-Lorraine and liberate eastern Europe from the German yoke. La Rocque secured an alliance with Ante Pavelic and the Kingdom of Croatia, Ioannas Metaxas's Greece, the corporatist regime in Hungary, the Empire of Japan, and even tense ties with the United Kingdom. France fought long and hard using newly developed blitzkrieg tactics, while the Germans kept outdated Prussian tactics until they adopted new modes of warfare. After the Germans began using tact9ics of guerrilla war and cutting French supply lines led to the the French overstretching themselves at the battle of Aachen near the rhine river. After this, the French fighting force collapsed as the Socialist Powers joined in against both sides of the war. Ukraine fell to the Russians and eventually the USA nuked Hiroshima and forced Japan to surrender. France was left to be occupied by the German Empire, who placed the Neosocialists who ran the French Social Republic (nationalistic and socialistish) who weren't much of a change from De la Rocque. The civil structure and military tactics of the French Kingdom will always live on in France, and the legacy of Work, Family, and Fatherland still influences French politics to this day.
