Thoughts? , when posting a new thread, it is nice if you do not tag the people, if the thread is good than people will post in it without needed to be tagged. But that having said, i think that Free France will now be the territory of 2018 France. |

Agreed on both points. There's going to be a big stink about the status of Laval, Petain and assorted people associated with deporting Jews and other crimes against humanity although we have the old problem of how can you charge a person with a crime they haven't, to them, committed yet. Also the political views of the people there will make the Front National look like liberals. On the plus side, although they will be very confused by events assorted victims of the regime will be alive again and you might well also have some celebrities or great thinkers back.
The even more dramatic and interesting situation will be in the former French empire. Some bits, such as those now fully integrated into France will still be there but now from 78 years ago. However the colonial empire in Africa and FIC will make dramatic changes. French North Africa will be vastly smaller in population and a lot more backwards while you will have the French colonial population in Algeria. As such in many ways it will be unready for quick independence but there will be pressure for it to happen quickly and those expats and descendants of the immigrants from the regions who will be tempted to push for this and possibly return to those lands to get involved. Also there will of course be plenty of others, especially the reactionary terrorist groups that plague the world who will look to cause problems and destruction.
Things are going to be even more chaotic in the former French ME as the Lebanon and Syria will be thrown into the chaos that currently plague the region. It will have the 1940 French garrison, although I don't think they are particularly large but they will be totally unprepared for what might be coming at them from Iraq or Turkey in the way of terrorist or possible military intervention. Iran and Russia will be less than happy at having lost their forces currently in the region. Possibly Israel might also seek to establish a friendly government or at least influence in Lebanon especially.
In FIC I don't know what China and Thailand will do with the French colonial empire now alongside.

the 1940 colonial empire arriving in 2018 means that half of North Africa has not been touched by radical Islam... Vietnam and Laos are not communist... Hun Sen is gone, too.

Yes, I mentioned that.  However you are likely to get Boko Haram coming into its southern reaches from Nigeria. Also it won't be long before there are other groups coming into the northern part from Libya and further afield.
