There was a popular option among opponents of the cease-fire (like Prime Minister Paul Reynaud, Minister Georges Mandel, General de Gaulle) to, in front of losing a battle of France, evacuate Government, remaining forces and, of course, not touched large French navy to North Africa (perhaps with a seat in Algier).
What if this option had prevailed and Nazis were forced to occupy the entire France, with legitimate, armed Government continuing a fight from colonies?
