Speaking of the world wars, I'm playing a Risk type game about WW2.
I should play as France next. See if I can save Netherlands from Germany with my airforce.

That Italians thought that and faced the full might of American firepower at sicily and southern Italy, as well as Africa.
The Japanese worked around the INSANELY dumb idea of Decisive battle (based upon the 1905 war against the russians).
The russians back in the winter war, however, had to make shit up to stalin in order to justify the EXTREME casualties the red army was facing due to Trenches being filled with angry and irate finns.
against Finland.
Decisive battle was a doctrine that was, unfortunately, developed through a fundamental error in the Japanese view of geopolitics. That is, the idea of a homogenous Europe. They knew that, like all the European powers, Russia was an unattainable goal for the Asian regional powers to compete with. So they gave it a shot anyway.
It only took one offensive to basically total the Russian fleet in Asia - it really was decisive, because Russia has never been a particular naval power, and certainly not based out of Port Sweetfuckall, Kamchatska. The Japanese did not quite realise that the USA, however, could not physically fit the entirity of their navy in the Pacific into Pearl Harbour. Also, most of the ships that they did sink were sort of just shrugged off and reanimated like gigantic metal zombies.
And then Japanese industry really couldn't keep up with an America that was somewhat larger, and also less susceptible to firebombing. Also, it had the atomic bomb near the end, and really fucking angry Russians who were nominally on their side, just as a sort of shit icing on the death cake.

My point being there really wouldn't be any reason for my department to have even a passive interest in you unless, say, you were visiting Paris without a travel visa in the bizarre (so given the current year, probably inevitable) circumstance of The Netherlands leaving the EU to form a Christ is Might military state with its greedy eyes on Flanders.
So in short, Welcome to Paris!
