If i were France i would be insulted that the great powers were not treating my country with respect or enough seriousness. I mean look at the facts, every single concession France tried to gain was contested or rejected by either germany or the uk. Which i think is incredibly unrealistic due to the good relations between the french and brits, and the horrible relations between german and the either 2 powers at the time. If this were real life, theres no shot France isnt declaring war on someone because of this.
