    AHC – France sustains its post-Versailles security order for 44 years

    Germany wouldn't fall in a week, they had more clandestine troops than thought and even the French taking that into account thought they wouldn't be through with the Germans for quite some time. Militias and police would likely fight as well and without question the US and UK would immediately...

    AHC – France sustains its post-Versailles security order for 44 years

    Like in 1923 with the Ruhr Occupation Britain and the US would use their financial leverage to cripple the French economy. As it was IOTL 1936 France couldn't even afford to mobilize to stop Germany reoccupying the Rheinland given their insolvency...

    AHC – France sustains its post-Versailles security order for 44 years

    AFAIK the last document of his 'plan' such that it was suggested he didn't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hossbach_Memorandum Granted there are significant problems with the memo, seeing as it was written 5 days later based on hand notes by an adjunct and not proofed by anyone else there...

    AHC – France sustains its post-Versailles security order for 44 years

    Nowhere near a majority. Even the Austrians wanted to join Germany at the end of the war, but were denied by the Allies.

    AHC – France sustains its post-Versailles security order for 44 years

    The Bavarians did not. The Communists in Bavaria wanted independence, since it would solidify their power, and Allied recognition, but the Allies had no interest in dealing with Communists.

    AHC – France sustains its post-Versailles security order for 44 years

    Impossible given the French population and foreign policy being at odds with Britain and the US. The only way to make it work is if they instigate the EU before Stresseman dies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristide_Briand#Briand_Plan_for_European_union The only framework for French security...
