France was defeated by Germany in WWII (despite putting up a fight
that was more heroic than the Americans had done in 100 years).

WWI was a draw.


It's not a draw when one side surrenders. Where's the other one?

Germany surrendered not just to France. It collapsed fighting against
the combined forces of France, the UK, and the USA. Otherwise one can
come up with silly examples of, for example, Canada or Brazil
defeating Germany in World War II (both had declared war).
