France was dying. The empire was losing war after war. An embarrasment after embarresment. And the people all blamed one person, the Prime Minister.
Riots broke out in Paris, Rome, Lyons, Venice, and other big cities. Soon the Prime Minister was on a rope, hanged by the crowd. The king demaned the army stop this, but to his dismay, the army invaded Paris and murdered the king.
General Chris(no relation to the Zulu

) had been waiting for this. His troops, aided by civilians, marched from city to city, ousting the government and installing new ones, run by Chris's top soldiers. Soon, all of France was taken over.
The new France was a police state, but the people rejoiced it anyway. France would no longer be embarresed by foriegn powers.
