Alright, the challenge here is simple: a French-Canadien state created by a revolt, before the onset of the Cold War. The opportunities I see here are during or right after the French & Indian War, the Napoleonic Wars pre-1812, the Patriotes Rebellion, and WW1.
Bonus points if supported by France & not Germany or the US, double bonus points if they expand to claim most of Eastern Canada, triple bonus points if they form a nationalist identity complete with irredentism and attempt, and even better, succeed, in reconquering what was New France, northern New England, Acadia, the Mississippi and the West. You win life if they have a form of aristocracy and a King.
You can take any PoD you wish (or several) to create a situation where that would be possible, with or without foreign support.
Bonne chance!
