Germany didn't try to colonize France, Germany succeeded in colonizing France in 1940 after the French government surrendered to Germany.
They surrendered to the Germans and the French Vichey Government sided with Germany
The French never surrendered in WW1, they even were the main force against Germany, and 1 500 000 French soldiers died in WW1, more than any victorious nation of WW1. In WW2, 200 000 French soldiers died defending France, but they were betrayed by the British army which retreated to the UK instead of helping the French protect Paris, and Pétain, President of France, surrendered to Hitler. He is considered a traitor in France.
The British attacked much of it before it could be handed over to Germans.
The economic were that the Germans trashed the French economy. Social, I don't know.
France Surrendered because they wanted to save the Eiffel Tower!It really was not France that surrendered it was the leader of the French who surrendered. The French were furious with him and at the end of the war they tried him in a court for doing what he did. The French wanted to drive the Germans out of their country. During the war they had an exceptionally strong Underground Resistance and the Free French in Britain helped to win WWII.
The French hated Germany because Germany invaded France.
