Why did France fall to Germany?

France was bitterly divided, and Germany had better troops.
Another reason is that Britain had to evacuate their army from
France. France from the start had a weak military; although Charles
de Gaulle warned of the weakness of the French military, the
government did nothing. France did not have the support of the
French people after the declaration of war. All of France's allies
(Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Poland, Denmark, and Norway)
besides Britain were all defeated by the time of the defeat of
France.
