Overview
France is a defensive nation that focuses heavily on defense in the early stages. They are protected from the East by the Maginot Line.

Brief History
Despite the devastation of the Great War, France is on the road to recovery thanks to its strong economy supported by German war reparations. However, the 'Great Depression' has still affected the country and the new German regime has shown little interest in continuing to pay the war reparations stipulated by the Treaty of Versailles.

With political unrest at home, the words of Marshal Ferdinand Foch when the treaty was signed "This is not a peace. It is an armistice for twenty years' appear to be an omen. Those 20 years are rapidly running out.
