I remember Matt Christman saying that if Germany hadn't become Fascist, France was the next contender in one of his vlogs. All of the dumb shit I keep hearing from France makes me think they're all one bad day away from competing with the nazis for worst place first place

After WWII, the French Communists were getting quite influential, so the US used the Marshall plan as leverage to get them barred from government. I sometimes wonder what history would have looked like without the wave of reaction in Western Europe being supported by the US.
History would be a whole lot more communist, thats for sure.
Post WW1 French politics was, to be blunt, w massive dumpster fire. While there was a huge far right movement there was also a huge leftist movement as well, that got bogged down by that most famous of Bear bugs, leftist infighting up until even the last Weeks before the Nazis took Paris. It’s really fascinating deep dive if you get the time.
Center left (?) Socialist Daladier stepped down as PM today in 1933, after compromising many socialist advances (40 hour week, Saturday as an off work day) because he understood what Hitler was up to, and knew the France was a creampuff. He wanted 3,000 warplanes, which might have dampened the Blitz or even prevented the attempt, but the banks wouldn't lend him the money because they were afraid of the very thing Daladier was working to prevent- war with Germany.
