Why did Churchill declare War on the French during World War 2?
I can't find any evidence of a formal declaration of war on France by the British during World War 2. Put the Allies did fight the french. They fought the Vichy French Government (the pro nazi government that had surrendered in 1940 when it was blatantly clear the battle for France had been lost.) They also attacked the french fleet in the hopes of denying it's use to the German Navy. The Allies also took back the French colonies in Africa and the middle east until eventually, on 20 August 1944, the Vichy Government Officals fled France and created a government in exile and in early April 1945 surrendered and tried by Provisional Government of the French Republic: the government headed by Charles de Gaulle.

How the Germans lost the ww1?
Germany's two major allies, Austria-Hungary & Turkey, were being defeated, and on the verge of collapse when the Germans began their last final offensive in France in the spring of 1918. The Germans had just defeated the Russian and were concentrating all efforts on winning in France before the bulk of American troops could begin arriving in France in mid-1918. The German spring offensive failed, in part because American troops that had already arrived in France were sent to the front to help the French. By mid-1918 the additional American troops allowed the British, French, and Americans to conduct a series of successful attacks that finally broke open the German lines. The German army quickly realized that final defeat was coming soon, so they convinced the German government to end the war with an Armistice.

What was the name of the German government in southern France?
It was not installed by the Germans. Marshal Petain became Pemiere of France before their capitulation according to proper french constitutional procedures. After the armistice the French parliament voted to essentially scrap the constitution and invest him with dictatorial powers. This was done on their own hook, not at the behest of the Germans. Anyway, his government is called the Vichy government after the small resort town in southern France which became the de facto French capital when the government fled Paris before it fell.
