Was France neutral in world war 1?

No. In fact, France was the principle agent in establishing the 'Triple Entente' of nations that stood against the 'Central Powers' - the alliance consisting of Germany, Austia-Hungary and Italy. Since the Franco-Prussian war, which resulted in a loss for France and the signing of the Treaty of Frankfurt, relations between France and the new unified German state were at a low ebb. Due to Germany's stated imperialist intentions, which would have hurt the economic interests of the great colonial states of Europe, France began a military build up and formed the Franco-Russian alliance. Although Britain was neutral and considered the old imperial rivals of France and Russia to be the greatest threat the their empire, the prospect of German imperialism forced Britain to break its neutrality and enter the Entente in 1907.
