For example, a magnet is polarized -- it has two opposite poles.The concept of polarization is often used to describe the two opposing sides in the Cold War: the Communist Bloc and the non-communist Free World. The two sides are opposites. The Free World is made up of, for the most part, capitalist democracies. The Communist Bloc is made up of communist dictatorships.

Yes
Yes France had colonies during World War 2. Some of the colonies joined the Vichy Free French and some joined the axis forces (via the Vichy Free French). Most of the French Colonies chose to go against France once the Nazis took over France and the Vichy Free French was formed. They allied themselves with the Allied Forces instead. The colonies were French-Indochina (Viet Nam - allied with the Allied Forces); Chad, French Congo and Gabon (went with the Free French) Guadeloupe, Martinique of the West Indies and French Guiana joined the Free French in 1943 Syria, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco were under Vichy French control until the Allied Forces liberated them, then they allied with the Allied Forces. French Polynesia joined the Vichy French right away French North Africa, French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa allied themselves with the Free French Forces under General Charles De Gaulle and they fought with the Allied forces against the Germans.
Charles de Gaulle was a French general during World War II who led the free French forces. He founded and served as the first President of the French Fifth Republic from 1959-1969.
General Charles de Gaulle organized the Free French Forces in England. He fought with the allies until France was free. Special note: The French underground, Free Forces and the civilians defeated the Germans in Paris, not the Allied Forces. They did it themselves. Hurray for the French.
Brazil
The Big Three were Roosevelt (American), Churchill (British) and Stalin (Russian). The French leader you are probably thinking of was Charles De Gaulle who was the self-appointed leader of the Free French forces. He was not one of the Big Three. He could be quite difficult to work with though and what Churchill and Roosevelt would call him when nobody else was around probably does not bear repeating.
de Gaulle
The Free French Forces (Forces Françaises Libres in French) were French fighters in World War II, who decided to continue fighting against Axis forces after the surrender of France and German occupation, following the call of General De Gaulle, and the de jure government ('Free French Government') of France in exile as of June 18, 1940.
