What if the United States was the party that interned the French fleet and protected French colonies? What if American troops were deployed to the French colony of Indochina some time after the fall of France? The closest parallel I could offer would be American troops in Iceland. The British offered the French fleet a chance to sail to America, but I believe a diplomatic SNAFU prevented that. However, I believe the aircraft carrier Bearn and a couple cruisers were interned by the USA. American troops might also be stationed in French African holdings.
How plausible is this? Britain should back this because it gives them security that those colonies can't switch sides, and Vichy France has the same motivation to consent. Would this draw the USA into the war earlier or later?
