1945 In May, more than 2 million Soviet troops invaded Berlin, the capital of Germany, and Nazi Germany declared its unconditional surrender. At this time in western Europe, only Britain still has some strength against the Soviet Union. But without the help of American troops, Britain can only protect itself at best. In order to counter the expanding Soviet Union, the United States began to support newly liberated France and defeated Germany. By 1950, Germany and France had basically recovered. First, at the beginning of World War II, France suffered a crushing defeat. After World War I, in order to contain Germany, France put forward a series of harsh demands at the Paris Peace Conference. Germany is not allowed to have an air force, the navy is pitifully small, and the size of the army cannot exceed 65,438+10,000. The Rhine region on the German-French border was set as a demilitarized zone, and Germany had to pay France $3 billion in war reparations. These provisions are almost enough for Germany to turn over forever, but Germany's opportunity came at 1929. When the global financial crisis broke out, countries suffered heavy economic losses, including Britain, France and Germany. The first world war between Britain and France did not recover at all, and then the economic crisis broke out, which made the economies of the two countries worse. Nazi forces in Germany began to rise. 1933, Hitler became German Chancellor. After a series of military expansions and preparations, Germany began to expand abroad to regain its lost dignity. Paris Peace Conference1September 939,150,000 Germans attacked Poland. As nominal allies of Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany without retreat. However, Britain and France did not contribute, and more than 654.38 million troops still stood on the German-French border. Because the Soviet Union and Germany signed the infamous treaty, Germany can boldly mobilize the main force to attack Western Europe. These small countries, the Netherlands and Belgium, were no match for Germany at all and were soon occupied by the Germans. At this time, the burden of resisting Germany fell on France, but France's performance deeply disappointed all countries. Due to the strategic mistakes of the French high command, Germany went straight into it and the French army lost again and again. In the end, France resisted for less than 40 days and surrendered.1.4000 French troops laid down their weapons. Hitler swaggered in Paris and inspected the German army. Hitler declared, "I stepped on the whole of Europe."

Second, Charles de Gaulle led the battle against the Germans from France.

After France announced its surrender, General Charles de Gaulle fled to Britain and established a government in exile there. However, the government in exile does not have much actual power after all. At that time, Britain established governments in exile in various countries, such as France, Poland and Ethiopia. Charles de Gaulle set up a French battle front in Britain, calling on French overseas colonies not to obey the puppet rule of Vichy regime and unite against the Germans. 1943, Charles de Gaulle established himself in Algeria. At this time, he has 230,000 army and 50,000 navy. It's just that big countries don't care at all. Whether it's the Cairo Conference or the Tehran Conference, Charles de Gaulle is excluded. Charles de Gaulle was very angry: "1500 years, France has long been accustomed to the status of a big country. Please don't forget this. " This statement is obviously not true. In the past 1500 years, China was much more brilliant than French.

American President Roosevelt disliked Charles de Gaulle very much. He thought that Charles de Gaulle might become a dictator. Later development completely surprised Roosevelt, and Charles de Gaulle ruled France for more than 20 years. 1944, the American and British troops carried out the Normandy landing war. De Gaulle also returned to France. He called on French youth to join the French army. At the beginning of 1945, the total strength of the French army reached 970 thousand. Unfortunately, this figure is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the United States and the Soviet Union. However, the total strength of the United States is 6.5438+0.2 million, that of the Soviet Union is 6.5438+0.4 million, and that of Britain is 5.65438+0.4 million. 1in April, 945, France participated in the San Francisco conference as a big five. But as we all know, France's position at this time is still below that of China. At best, France is a quasi-second-rate country. 1In May, 945, Soviet troops occupied Berlin. The United States and Britain flattered France and entered Berlin together, but the German prisoners simply looked down on the French.

After the cold war broke out, the United States began to fully support France and Germany.

With the end of World War II, the Cold War followed. Because the whole western Europe has been devastated and the economies of various countries are depressed, it is completely unable to cope with the possible attack of the Soviet Union. At this time, the whole western Europe still had some money except Britain, but Britain had also been weakened and could not lead the revival of Europe. In order to reshape Europe and confront the increasingly powerful Soviet Union, US Secretary of State Marshall proposed an economic stimulus plan. The plan focuses on France and Germany. The United States continued to transfuse blood to western Europe, and a few years later, western European countries recovered their vitality. The French forgot the pain when they healed their wounds, and immediately began to occupy those colonies that had been independent before, including China's neighboring Vietnam. The French army, which had just come out of the prison camp, was rearmed and sent to the battlefield in Vietnam, and endless suffering awaited the French army. In the middle and late 50 years, the unbearable French announced its complete withdrawal from Indian zhina Peninsula.
