France did not surrender. In fact it was Germany who surrenderd on the 11th of November in 1918. That is why we have the treaty of Versailles. France was on Great Britain and Russia's side.... And they won the war
France followed much of the same industrialization as the rest of western Europe throughout this century. At the beginning, the primary local transportation was through horse and carriage (of various types), with regional and international transportation via train and boat. By the beginning of the second World War, France had a sizeable population driving personal automobiles and commercial air flights were also becoming popular.
