They didn't, instead collaborating with him. France could easily have held off Hitler at the beginning of the war
no.1 i thik i know what youre saying but im drunk and i feel no response to it. 2. there are tons of books and stuff on france's issues and reasons it failed. it failed to fight back despite theoretically being able to because at the time it was the most likely thing for the pieces to fall into place disablig it from being able to do so. thats ki d of the thig that i meant when people say "if x".
