The Allied invasion of German occupied France begain on what is commonly now termed as "D-Day", 6 June 1944 (Operation Overlord). A second Allied invasion of Southern France began on 15 August 1944 (Operation Dragoon). On 28 August 1944 the German army surrendered to Allied forces in Toulon and Marseilles, marking the beginning of the end of the successful French invasion.
It was one of the turning points of the war. The Allied forces began to crush through all German defenses as most of the veterans were fighting the Soviet Union.

When the war began, the major powers on the Allied side were Great Britain, France, and Russia. Other countries who were on the side of the Allies at the start included Serbia, Belgium, and Japan. Other countries joined later, like the US, Italy, Greece, and some small kingdoms in the Arabian peninsula.
on d-day, the allies began a massive surprise attack on Germany forces in France
France was part of the allied forces (America, UK, Australia etc.) until it was taken over by Germany, the Nazis made France into a "puppet" nation and than ordered them to fight against the allies. They began on the allied side, but were forced to surrender and join the axis forces after being conquered by the Nazis.
