In World War I, the Germans used the tactic of attrition in order to eliminate France from the war. Attrition is the basic concept of fighting your enemy to wear down their forces until they have no more soldiers left. To bleed France white was the act of killing enough French soldiers (blood=red) so that France would have no choice to surrender (surrender=white), referring to the act of bleeding a body until it turned white from blood loss.
