The fall of France in June 1940 marked a significant turning point in World War II, as it left Britain standing alone against Nazi Germany. This defeat severely weakened the Allies' position in Europe, prompting Britain to brace for a potential invasion. It also led to increased reliance on the United States for support, as Britain sought to regroup and prepare for future conflicts. The loss of France shifted the war's dynamics, emphasizing the need for coordinated Allied efforts to resist Axis expansion.

Depends on what you mean by Allies. If you mean Ally as in fighting with France and Britain, then no. They were enemies.

It was not at all inevitable that the Allies would win WWII in the first nine months, indeed to many it would have seemed that the war was lost. This is assuming you mean from September 1, 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. Russia was allied with Germany, France and much of Europe was gone, and the British left much of their equipment and war materiel in France and had a tiny standing Army. All that stood between the free world and defeat was the British Airforce and the Royal Navy. The former was under-equiped with many obsolete aircraft and the latter stretched very thinly.

Well, depends on exactly when you're talking. Assuming you mean during WW2, it was conquered by France in the 1880's. During WW2, France was conquered by Germany, and the southern part of France, as well as overseas colonies, were run by a new French government, which was friendly to Germany, set up in the city of Vichy (in southern France)- the so-called "Vichy France". When the Allies invaded Morocco in 1942 (there were already British troops in Egypt), German and Italian troops had to occupy French territory since French troops generally didn't try to stop the Allied advance. By summer of 1943, the Allies had defeated the Axis troops in North Africa and were able to invade Sicily, which led to the invasion and defeat of Italy.
