The Treaty of Geneva is signed on March 31st 1938, the treaty that ended the French part of the Global War. France was stripped of all their colonies and their military forces were reduced to no more than a heavy armed police force. Their armed forces were prohibited of having landships or heavy bombers, prohibited of having chemical or atomic weapons and the use of flamethrowers. The navy was reduced to the size of a small coastal fleet, only allowed to keep their two Normandie class battleships as capital ships. They were also prohibited of ever having submarines. The French districts of Meuse, Pas de Calais, Nord, Somme, Aisne, Marne, Ardennes, Moselle, Meurthe, Vosges and Haute Saone were put under German, British and US occupation for a period of five years or until reparations are paid for the damages incurred by France against the Central Powers. Later it was agreed that the Central Powers' war debt to the United States was instead acquired by France in lieu to reparations. The other Central Powers wanted a complete occupation of France but the United States president Wendell Wilkie used his economic leverage to made them accept a reduced occupation of the defeated nation. The bulk of their African colonies went to Great Britain except for Madagascar, the Ivory Coast and Guinea that were adjudicated to Germany and the French Somaliland to Ethiopia. British Somaliland (ITTL it includes the former Italian Somaliland) was ceded to the Ethiopians as promised for their help during the war. When the news of this treaty reached Paris the outroar in repudiation of this treaty was inmense. This treaty is one considered one of the causes of the 2nd French Civil War.
