To compare the sizes of France's and Russia's armies, we need to look at both their standing armies and the number of reservists.

Here is a detailed comparison:

1. Standing Army:
- France: 1,125,000
- Russia: 1,200,000

Comparison: France had a slightly smaller standing army than Russia.

2. Reservists:
- France: 2,400,000
- Russia: 3,200,000

Comparison: France had fewer reservists than Russia.

From this comparison, we can see that:

- France had a slightly smaller army than Russia.
- France did not have significantly more reservists than Russia; in fact, it had fewer.
- France and Russia did not have about the same number of reservists; Russia had a larger number of reservists.

Given these comparisons, the statement that best describes the size of France's army compared with Russia's is:

France had a slightly smaller army than Russia.
