Hitler’s invasion of france meant that a)democracy was being gravely threatened. b)totalitarianism was a viable form of government. c)he now could turn his attention to countries in eastern europe. d) he had gained sufficient power to force allied powers to surrender.

The correct answer is A) democracy was being gravely threatened.

Before the German invasion in 1940, France was a democratic state under the Third Republic, but after the fall of Paris the Third Republic collapsed and France became a puppet state of Germany under the fascist and authoritative Vichy Regime. This was a clear violation of Western democracy since France was a hallmark for democracy in Europe and the world and now Nazism threatened with expanding fascism and totalitarianism across the continent.

your answer will most likely be a.
