ATL: Inspired by Parnell's Irish Parliamentary party in the United Kingdom and his campaign for Irish Home Rule, for each of France's linguistic minorities, a Home-Rule-striving party is created by 1914 within the Third French Republic. These parties all support the Republic but want their respective regions to become semi-autonomous with the parliament in Paris legislating over issues of national importance. They also have to campaign for recognition of their respective languages and the right to be educated through them but at the same time recognizing french as a lingua franca for inter-ethnic communication within France.
These parties have to gain mass support by the 1920s and achieve Home Rule by the 1930s. Thus by the fall of France, Brittany, Corsica, each historical province of Occitania (Gascony/Aquitaine, Limousin etc), and others are all semi-autonomous regions with their own legislatures, and there could even be a devolved legislature for 'Central' France (meaning the Oil-speaking area) making France quasi-Federal. The regional languages (except for the oil ones) all gain official status and survive, with French being the language of inter-regional communication and federal governance.
What would the History of France be like from 1939 to the present day?
