France
From the Resistance Wiki
France is a country located in Western Europe that also comprises various overseas islands and territories located in other continents. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. It is often referred to as L’Hexagone ("The Hexagon") because of the geometric shape of its territory.
[edit] History
France at the early 20th century, along with its ally Britain have declared war on Germany by invading the German colony Togoland on August 1914, instigating the Great War. France became one of the Allied victors in the Great War, following a ceasefire proposal from Germany on October 1918. France later became a member of the ETO (European Trade Organization) and the United European Defense.
When Russia closed its borders, it is presumably thought that France believed that the Russians were building a massive army to take over all of Europe, and in which they sent 12 French spies into Russia but only to be discovered and executed without trial. France then used its Entente Cordiale to call British troops into its country and to provide a strong military alliance should anything goes wrong.
Following the outbreak of the Chimeran invasion from Russia, France became one of the European countries that fell to the Chimera within two months. Remnants of the UED, including French and other European forces, banded together to form the Maquis, and took shelter in safe zones such as Luxembourg and Reims, France while resisting the Chimera. During the two year occupation France's capital, Paris, have become drastically juxtapose with Chimeran architectures along with the excavation of a Chimeran hub tower (Paris Tower) from within the city and the establishment of a unique conversion center known as the Chrysalis Lair which looms over the city's iconic monument, the Eiffel Tower; the city's atmosphere too has changed with a never-ending winter environment just as similar to Chimera-controlled London, to suit the Chimera's ideal environment.
During the later events of Operation Overstrike, the combined efforts of the Maquis and British forces assaulted Paris, turning the city into a battle ground, allowing British Royal Marines Pvt. James Grayson to infiltrate and infecting the heart of the Chrysalis Lair, causing a halt to Chimeran conversion centers throughout Europe. Following Grayson's battle in the Lair, Major Cartwright's forces managed to destroy the Paris Tower, with similar results as from the destruction of the London Tower, allowing a temporary end to Chimeran rule in western Europe.
