Greetings! Whilst more can always be said on the matter, especially regarding the various circumstances behind each colony's fate after France fell, here's a previous thread answered by u/Kochevnik81 and myself regarding the fate of West European colonies after their mother country had been invaded by Nazi Germany. Kochevnik's response goes into further depth with French colonies in particular, whereas mine deals with the more general overview (including Dutch and Belgian colonies).
