After the 1940 armistice with Germany, France watched as its old ally Great Britain recoiled from helping its sister nation. If the French navy fell into German hands as France had fallen, the French fleet would attack the very allied forces which had bolstered it against the German assault. The French navy might be the weapon that Hitler used to land on English shores. Reluctantly, diplomatic efforts were halted and the British attacked and destroyed the French naval fleet in the waters near Algeria.
