Supposing the US never gets itself involved, Paris is captured, the British get off relatively easy as Germany the new leader of Europe wants to eventually have a cordial relationship again, a few colonies here and there, an agreement not to get involved in the affairs of the continent, a few token reparations.
France however feels the full might of German revanchism for daring to challenge them twice after they'd already slapped then down once.
The Germans annex the rest of Lorraine, and strip the country of every single colony including Algeria which involves a nasty ethic cleansing of it's French population, Corsica is set up as an "independent" state under German influence.
The nation has lost so much, utterly defeated, Champagne, and Franche-Comtât are demilitarized, and France is forced to pay heavy reparations, restrictions on their navy, airforce, and armed forces.
The nation that once almost ruled Europe even lost the homeland of Napoleon.
But the French collectively burn with rage, but they can't really do much about it, Paris is looted, the Eiffel tower is dismantled and moved to Berlin.
They're crushed their, but the ember's burn.
When a pragmatic and cunning leader comes to power.
The Germans ease up believing that a generation which has passed is part of a new tamed France, they lift a few restrictions, and even allow for France to remilitarize it's dematerialized zone.
When the unthinkable (to the Germans occurs) The French march though Belgium 'liberating' the country and outright annex Wallonia, the Dutch turn down their offer to join them in exchange for Flanders.
They move swiftly a new kind of war lighting fast, the Germans hadn't been prepared for this, as it's satellites to it's east rebel, Germany finds itself loosing ground day by day, and the French are merciless, civilians suffer just as much as the armies who were supposed to protect them, vast swats of Germany and looted and burned, leaving nothing's but rubble, scorched Earth, and a few terrified civilians.
The British true to their word stay out of the affairs of Europe though there's quite an outcry as to the brutality of their campaign.
Eventually Berlin sues for peace.
Now we have a new French order for Europe a dream of Napoleon is finally a relaity.
Now in this new French order what happens to Germany?
They've been defeated, unexpectedly they were so sure of themselves and now all may well be lost.
1)does this sound plausible?
2)what might the maps look like?
