I doubt Germany would invade France again any time soon.

If the US became completely isolationist, including pulling out all support from NATO and dismantling the nuclear umbrella, I'd predict the next Franco-German war in 20 years max (possibly sooner).

Edit: since it wasn't clear judging by the replies, I never said that the war would start with a German attack on France.

This seems very unlikely to me. Could you explain what you think would cause this war?

Probably the French getting annoyed at the real or perceived German takeover of their country through the banking system.
