Scramble for France

The Scramble of France is a campaign to conquer France under the rule of the German Empire, Italian Empire and Spanish Empire.

## Events

### Background

The Third French Republic declared war on the German Empire after they declared on France's ally, Russia who was jumping to the defense of Serbia who got war declared on it by Austria-Hungary after Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. After the German campaign to conquer the Eastern Front and the current German occupation of the lands of West Russia (the Baltic States, Finland, Poland, Belarussia, Ukraine and Crimea) with Romania and Serbia to prevent Germany from fighting a two front war as the Russians are being kept out.

Preparations to create Puppet States in East Europe and the Balkans were halted due to the French attempting to Invade Germany.

The German ambassador to Italy then met with the Italians to discuss plans on how to help each other during the War. The German Ambassador to Italy told the Italians then said that if the Italians help invade France with Germany then Germany will help with fighting the Ottomans. Italy then agreed to help with the invasion as they and Germany sent Generals of both nations to plan how to invade France. Italy said they would invade France through Corsica and they would use the Algerian natives to cause riots to distract France. The plan then commenced as Italy invaded Italy through Corsica with help of the Germans stationed in Italy since Italy alone could not invade France alone.

The Germans and Italians revised the Schlieffen Plan with aid of Helmut von Moltke the Younger as they planned to only cross through the Ardennes region which is mostly just hills and forests that is between Germany and France and it was just a small piece of land in which Belgium does not care about the region. However they would have to invade Luxembourg which would be a problem. The invasion of France through the Ardennes and Luxembourg was the only way to invade France instead of invading Belgium as a whole which will violate the 1839 treaty that respects Belgian Neutrality and get the British involved.

Spain joined the war on the side of the Central Powers as it wanted to annex Morocco as a Puppet State to merge it's Moroccan Protectorate with the French Protectorate.

### Arab Stirrup

Italy was alerted by the Germans about the Ottoman Alliance with the Senussi Order which made Italy spy on the deal. The Ottomans promised the Senussi Order that if they help the Ottomans win the war against Italy then they can get Autonomy in Libya under Ottoman Rule. However Italy later on arrived with a better deal in which the Senussi Order instead of being an autonomus region under the Ottoman Empire will be a Puppet State of Italy and will be heroic for helping Arab Rebels gain freedom from Britain, France and the Ottomans. The Senussis agreed as they then helped Italy by stirring up Rebels in Algeria in having the rebels commit Jihad against their French oppressors.

### Italian and German invasion of Southeast France

Italy then later on invaded Corsica and then invaded Monaco in which the Germans who were stationed there invaded France through the Alps region as French Soldiers then were sent to fight off the Italian Invaders which caused violence in Monaco unlike anything before. The Prince of Monaco even had to suspend the constitution to appease the Italian Occupiers and give them whatever they wanted despite the opposition of the people.

### German invasion of Northern France

After Italy used distractions to manipulate France and their invasion of Southeastern France through Corsica, Germany then invaded France through the Ardennes in which was a region of Belgium that consisted of hilly regions and forests. The Germans only invaded France through that region and not the rest of Belgium due to it being a small region of Belgium that is between France and Germany and not part of Belgium proper.

The riots were bloody and violent as the Germans were killing unarmed French citizens as French Troopers and Policemen fought against the Germans and Italians Soldiers. Buildings were burning as Bombs were being dropped by the German Zeppelins as they destroyed French cities. German Warplanes and Bombers contributed to the Destruction of the cities as Villages and towns were also bombed. Millions of French citizens had died in these raids which made the French hurt, emotionally wounded and angry to the point that they rioted against the Republic.

Babies, Toddlers, Little Children, Girls, Teenage Girls and Elderly People were evacuated to Southwest France as boys as ages 9-12, Teenage Boys, Young Adult Men, Young Adult Women, Men and Women grabbed weapons and fought in the streets against the German forces.

### Spanish Invasion and Moroccan Question

Spain then joined the war to conquer Algeria and Morocco to create a Puppet State ruled by Morocco's Sultan. Germany fearing Spanish involvement in Africa might interfere with the Triple Alliance's plans meets with Spanish ministers and tells them to give up the Spanish protectorate in Morocco and let Germany get all of Morocco, Algeria and the land between them and let them get Morocco as Spain will get French West Africa and the Virgin Islands. Spain then agrees in the deal as a way to restore it's Empire and Spain itself then joins the War on the German side. The Morocco Campaign was the first stage of the Arab Revolts.

Spain invaded Southwest France later on as it contributed to the Bombardment of the French cities in the Southwest. Millions of Babies, Toddlers, Little Children, Girls, Teenage Girls and Elderly People were killed by the Spanish Bombers as a majority of them were arrested and massacred by the Spanish Army.

### British Involvement

Belgium after finding out that the Germans invaded France through the Ardennes was pissed that Germany invaded it to invade France. Germany and Italy explained that France declared war on Germany because France was friends with Russia who declared war on Austria because Austria had suffered Serbian aggression because a Serbian backed terrorist Army assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Serbia did not apologize for it's aggression. The Belgians called the Italians and Germans aggressors of France. Italy said that even though it as no hostilities against France, France must be punished for siding with aggressors and terrorists. Belgium then decided to end the debate and it has decided to remain neutral on the matter to avoid a full on German invasion. Luxembourg was pissed that Germany invaded it and caused instability in the capital who are rioting against them as the Government and the monarchy feared becoming a German Federal State. Germany told them that Luxembourg will become a Puppet State of Germany as a "kind repayment" for letting themselves being invaded by Germany. Luxembourg then bitterly agreed as they decided to allow Germany to get away with the invasion, because Belgium decided to remain neutral and France was defeated because of the Invasion of Luxembourg itself and two invasions by Italy with German aid and Spain.

The British were mad that Belgium stayed Neutral on the matter of Germany invading part of it's territory. Belgium told Britain that it will remain neutral even if Germany invaded part of it's territory because Belgium did not to go to war with Germany knowing it will be unwise to go to war with the Empire with the largest Army in Europe. However British intelligence found out about the Schlieffen Plan in which decided to form their own version of the Schlieffen Plan in which they decided to invade Germany through the Netherlands to end the war quickly. Sadly the invasion for Germany was a disaster as the Germans then repelled the invaders from the Netherlands.

### The Creation of a Monocan Puppet State

Italy merged the Southern Alps region of Southeast France into the Principality of Monaco as they were merged into a Puppet State known as the Kingdom of Monaco which is ruled by Monaco's Prince as King. The 1910 Constitution was destroyed as the monarch became an absolute monarch under control of the Italians who forbade any constitutional agreements with the people and even forbade the commoner Monacans or French people in the Kingdom representation in the Government. This caused riots by the people who then were killed by the Italian army, leaders of the rioters with their families were executed by Italians. The Italians created an Army for Monaco which was trained by Italy itself and the Italians restored the Kingdom of Two Sicilies in Corsica as a Puppet State as a way to appease Austria who then gave them the territories Italy wanted to save itself from more ethnic tensions.

### Return of the Bonaparte Emperor

Germany had incorporated a vast swath of territory in their occupied France into the Alsace-Lorraine territory, in which now the Alsace-Lorraine territory and Paris was sadly even incorporated into that territory. This had angered the French in the German occupied portion of France to the point the battles got fiercer. Germany got aid from Bonaparte Monarchists as they plan to restore Victor, Prince Napoleon, the titular Napoleon V on the throne of France. The Bonapartists were trained by the German army as they then turned the rest of Northern France under German occupation into the Imperial State of France ruled by Napoleon V himself. French Soldiers collaborators of the Germans were trained by the Germans in Prussian Army Military Training.

After the Germans crowned him Napoleon V, Emperor the French booed Victor and his coalition calling them German puppets and "The man who made us fail to get his throne back." The Imperialists had gotten huge disrespect from the French Republicans who threw slander at them and called Napoleon V a dumb boon who has no Ideas of a Radical Government and a German Puppet.

### Spain's Puppet States

Spain had restored the House of Orleans to power as the Monarchs of France in the West part of the Southwestern Region as Andorra was turned into a Puppet State of Spain known as the Holy State of Andorra which is ruled by a High Priest who is the Bishop of Barcelona and 3 Co-Princes. The Holy State of Andorra extended to the northern borders of the Southern Region of Southwest France. The rest of Southwest Spain was annexed by Spain and merged into Spain itself. Their armies were trained by the Spanish themselves.

### The Civil War

These events in France contributed into a Civil war which has the forces Germany, Spain and Italy's Puppet States fighting the Forces loyal to the Third Republic and hordes of French Nationalists, Syndicalists, Communists, Socialists and Anarchists.

## Aftermath

The Civil was short and a victory for Germany, Spain and Italy's puppet states as they had help from their master states who occupied France. After the fall of the French Third Republic, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Norway, Denmark and Sweden declared war on Germany.

The Puppet States of Germany, Italy and Spain participated in the war in Central Africa with Germany's puppet states gained from the German campaign to conquer the Eastern Front. France after loosing Indochina resulted in Belgium in planning to annex the region and get French Indochinese soldiers to fight for them and help with the effort. Sadly, this resulted in Germany in getting Japan involved in the War on the side of the Central Powers.

After the War, the French Third Republic lost all of it's territories to the Germans, Spanish, Italians and Japanese and the homeland was lost to Germany, Italy and Spain itself.

Alfred Dreyfus, was leading a Jewish Opposition against Napoleon in 1932 as a protest against the plan to exile all the Jews in Hamburg to Goshen

The merciless execution of Alfred Dreyfus, because he was a "loyalist Jew Republican" caused a division in France again, but Napoleon V sided with the "anti-Dreyfusards" Army which called them German Puppets and Proxies by the Republicans. The "anti-Dreyfusards" Army began killing band gunning down Dreyfus's Family and people who thought his execution was unfair or people who tried to protest his innocence. The Republicans who were Pro-Dreyfus were so hurt that they with the Republicans called Napoleon V a murderer and a German puppet as they left for the third republic. French Jews also left as they made slurs against Napoleon V as the "Jew killer" and "Nazi Puppet".
