Soviet forces advanced to Paris and transformed the Eiffel Tower into a gigantic Tesla Tower by charging it with Tesla Troopers. Much of downtown Paris was destroyed as the Europeans traded their own arsenals to each other and also included France, itself. When the French were knocked out of the war, Germany and Great Britain never surrendered, but did after Chrono Defense and The Fox and the Hound.
War of the Three Powers[]

France again saw fighting on its soil during the War of the Three Powers. The country was initially overrun by Soviet forces, but after a successful The Shark and the Lure in Cannes to scuttle the Soviet naval base and rescue the Allied leaders, the whole country was later liberated by the Allies.
French contribution to the war included the Mirage tanks (which were piloted by French Commanders). Additionally, French personnel were prominent within the Allied forces. Their Commander, Lissette Hanley was also rumored to be part of the French Spy Network. Despite the Mirage Tank to be part of the French army, FutureTech has them stored safe from the Soviets and Imperials (much to an attack) in Amsterdam.
