France

France, officially the French Republic, is a country spanning Europe, Northern Africa, Oceania, and South America.

## History

### The old Kingdom

The Kingdom of France under the Bourbons is controversial in France. Some said that France is better as a Republic, some say the old times were much better. Nonetheless, the Revolution against Louis XVI happened in 1792, and it was made a Republic.

### The old Republic and the Empire

Napoleon Bonaparte was the first President of France. The French Republic was constantly at war because the other nations in Europe didn't want to lose their ally in the Kingdom of France. In 1804, Napoleon said screw it, and became a Monarch himself, the Emperor of France. He invaded many nations, such as Spain, The Netherlands, Germany, and Russia. Eventually, the Empire capitulated, and he went into exile. He went back briefly for 100 times, but he went into exile once again. The Monarchy was restored from 1815-1848. In 1848, another Republic was in power, and Napoleon's nephew, later named Napoleon III, was elected president, only to declare himself Emperor like his uncle did. However, he was lost in the Franco-Prussian war, and France became a Republic again, this time, for real.

### The Great War

In 1914, The Central Powers and the Entente Powers, which France was apart of, went to war. In 1917, the Germans and The Equestrians took Paris and France capitulated to the Central Powers.

### Commune of France

In 1919, the French Civil War began and the Communist Commune of France came to power. During the Communist times, France went through similar struggles as the real life Soviets. Not to mention the old Republic still retained control of their former colonies.

### Reclamation Wars

The Reclamation Wars (1943-1952) was a conflict with the French, Italian and British governments in exile reclaimed their nations from Communist rule. This was when the Entente Reformed, and continued to have a rivalry with the Central Powers, but no second Great War ever happened, mostly minor conflicts. After the Reclamation wars, these nations also decolonized, except France having Algeria.
