PC/WI: Communist Revolution Spreading to France

[Kaiser Tito]

If WWI lasted another year and revolutions start popping up in europe with Germany successfully going Red, what direction would France take after that? Would revolutionaries inspired by Germany and Russia successfully overthrow the government either threw election or force, or would the conservative leadership beatdown the socialist uprising and go through a red scare that rivals historical examples? If the conservatives do defeat the reds, but their northern (northwest maybe?) neighbor Britain starts suffering instability from a general strike, would French democracy survive the 20's or would they start believing that fascism is the only to survive being surrounded by communists?

 

[Kaiser Tito]

While France did have a strong socialist movement historically, I do think that the conservative government that formed post-wwi does make it a valid question of which side would win out during a red wave.

 

[Kaiser Tito]

I personally believe that a revolution in France would fail but I'd still like to know whether or not French democracy would be able to survive the red scare over the decade.

What if they follow in with their Spanish brethren


perhaps the war leads to a point where even Spain has a revolt during their civil war


Could the two sister Nations raise their red flags in unity?

I think it's unlikely but I like the idea.
