the Rhineland
that was before a zone of occupation by the Ally's ( France , UK, Belgium to name some ). they had occupied that region to get compensation for the damage done in the WW I.
But after some time it cost more then they financially got from it and they army's where pulled back .
Then in 1937 Hitler reoccupied that neutral zone which was also intended as a " German army free " zone
All the other parts of the like the elzas or the region off Eupen ( Belgium ) where part of France or Belgium and where only in 1940 with the invasion occupied

These answers seem to be jokes.
I shouldn't be doing your homework for you, but I will cut you some slack this time.
It was the "Rhineland".
And that is "based on history", since 1936 is in the past.
-----------------------------------
...In violation of the Treaty of Versailles and the spirit of the Locarno Pact, Nazi Germany remilitarized the Rhineland on Saturday, March 7, 1936. The occupation was done with very little military force, the troops entering on bicycles, and no effort was made to stop it (See appeasement). France could not act due to political instability at the time, and, since the remilitarisation occurred on a weekend, the British Government could not find out or discuss actions to be taken until the following Monday. As a result of this, the governments were inclined to see the remilitarisation as a fait accompli.
Hitler took a risk when he sent his troops to the Rhineland. He told them to 'turn back and not to resist' if they were stopped by the French Army. The French did not try to stop them because they were currently holding elections and no president wanted to start a war with Germany.
The British government agreed with the act in principle, "The Germans are after all only going into their own back garden" Lord Lothian, but rejected the Nazi manner of accomplishing said act. Winston Churchill, however, advocated military action through cooperation by the British and the French.
The remilitarization of the Rhineland was favoured by some of the local population, because of a resurgence of German nationalism and harboured bitterness over the Allied occupation of the Rhineland until 1930 (Saarland until 1935)....

There are greater suitable than six certainly. Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Andorra, and Spain all proportion land borders with France, whilst super Britain (additionally generic by using fact the united kingdom) is separated from France by potential of the English Channel. (Dover, England and Calais, France are in basic terms 21 miles aside.)
