What If France Had Started World War II?

I do wish more alternate history dealt with the idea that the Third Republic lasted from 1871 to 1940, which perhaps suggests that it wasn't quite as unstable and doomed to inevitable collapse as the lazy memes suggest; too many counterfactuals between set in France between Sedan and... ha, Sedan, I guess!... just seem to want to get the Republic out of the way without engaging with its fascinating complexity.
On the flipside, I don't think "Weimar republic survives" is particularly common either. People are just mean to chaotic European democracies.
