[edit] Marseille in Worldwar

While France was a part of the Greater German Reich, Marseille drew many foreign visitors and was a major ginger smuggling center due to its proximity to Race-held territory. During the Race-German War of 1965, the Race destroyed the city with an atomic bomb due to the heavy German presence in the city. After the German defeat, the newly constituted French Fourth Republic began rebuilding the city.
