World War I - "no decision"

Did Germany not surrender?

They did... but I believe the French lost a higher percentage of their
population (the war being fought mostly on French soil).


World War II - a clear win for Germany in 1940

But a clear loss in 1945.


Yea, verily... but how much the French contributed to said defeat is
debatable. (Especially given the argument that if Paris had been
bypassed as originally planned, instead of DeGaulle stealing the French
divisions to liberate the city, the war might have ended six months
sooner.)
