I got the idea for this thread reading the diverse threads about the French and how the do in a war...
So, WI de Gaulle had been the overall commander of the French army when the nazis invaded? I'm sure that he'd done better than OTL commanders, he seems to have had the right attitude, the question is how good he'd done.
Would he have been able to stopp the Wehrmacht, leading to a prolonged war as in 1914? Would the French & Brits eventually have driven them out, liberating Benelux or even invading Germany? What would Italy have done? Would Hitler try to force them to declare war upon France? Would Stalin have used the opportunity if Germany and the Allies would still have a stalemate in the West in, say, 1943? Will the Allies fight Hitler together with Stalin or would they ally with Germany, fearing an over-mighty Stalin? Would Churchill ever come to power, or will writing a book about WW2 be everything he may do? And what will the US do? (Pearl Harbor may still happen, but with France being undefeated they shouldn't occupy Indochina as they did OTL...)
