Had France decided to go communist in the 1930s, undoubtedly they would ally with the Soviet Union and abandon the United Kingdom. This alternate France I bet would be less tolerable to Germany violating the Treaty of Versailles, so they are not going to do the whole appeasement strategy.
With the Comintern expanding into Spain, I can potentially see Britain and Poland to surprisingly ally with ultranationalist Germany and Italy, so the Second World War could start with these frontlines in 1939.
Let me cover how France could go communist in the 1930s, how their potential decolonization game would go, and then this alternate Second World War, so let me show you what I came up with!
