“They had made a decision to sit out a war between Nazism & Bolshevism...”
So by surrendering to the NAZIs, the French somehow caused the Soviets to not conquer France at the end of WWII like they conquered Eastern Europe because collaborationist Vichy French soldiers fired on Americans in Operation Torch?
You seem intelligent, but I really don’t get what you’re trying to say.
The French had to fight, it was their own damn country.
You asked earlier if the Confedracy would have fought another Civil War in 1881. Are you kidding? Yeah they would have fought - bravely; because it was their own damn country. An honorable Texas man, or Virginia man, or proud gentleman from Tennessee, et. all. would have stood up and defended their homes as best as they were able.

Well they’re 130 years late; why haven’t they attacked the federal forts again?
France had no means or will to fight; they knew the sacrifice of the “Great War” had been for nothing (even being attacked by their allies of that previous war - Italy & Japan), and they rightly figured this would be as meaningless (the subsequent Cold War validated that).
