The War of the Two Frances (Or France and Britain beat France in 1941)

Inspired by this thread.

Obviously it's supposed to be France and Britain beating Nazi Germany in 1941, but there's something about the original misprint that appeals to me.

How did the world end up with two Frances, where is the second one, why are France and Britain fighting it.

Now I am presuming that the France that Britain is allied with is Western or Atlantic France, somewhat similar to OTL France is size and position, and the enemy France is Eastern or Germanic France, which as the name suggests is further east towards Central Europe.

So the first thing here is build a larger France and a quick look at Wikipedia shows that could be possible.

Kingdom of Francia

The second thing is to keep France that size and well, make it French and not just the Holy Roman Empire with a name change.

Once that's done we can start on the rest of the world.
 
Well, in OTL there were two Frances from 1940-44, one on the Axis and one on the Allied side. The Free French captured French Equatorial Africa in the fall of 1940 and administered it for the remainder of the conflict.
 
a bit early, but French Royalist control "France" while the Revolutionary government was forced to create its own out of captured territories.

Happened in Thande's Look To the West TL. (Well, it was the Revolutionary government that controls France and the Royalists only control Brittany.
