France did sign a mutual assistance treaty with the Soviet Union in 1935, but it was a completely worthless treaty because Britain and Italy had to approve of any action performed under it, and also France answered every Soviet request for mutual military plans with “ehh, we’ll get back to you.”
i believe it’s commonly understood that French PM Pierre Laval torpedoed the treaty on purpose because he himself was a fascist piece of shit, like an actual Nazi
