French Armistice with Nazi Germany Enacted

June 25th, 1940 84 years ago

On June 25, 1940, the armistice between France and Nazi Germany came into effect, marking a significant shift in the control of French territories. The agreement followed France's defeat in the Battle of France in May and June. The armistice led to the occupation of northern and western France by German forces while allowing for the establishment of the Vichy regime in the unoccupied southern region. This division fundamentally altered the landscape of Europe during World War II.
