There have been several military occupations of France by foreign military forces since the country was first declared a sovereign unified entity under Philip II in 1190. These most notably occurred during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, first following the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, later during the Franco-Prussian War of 1871-1873, and then during both World Wars.
