Vichy
Vichy is a city in central France, located in the Auvergne region, which gained prominence during World War II as the seat of the Vichy government.
History
After France's defeat by Nazi Germany in 1940, the city became the administrative capital of the Vichy regime, which governed the unoccupied southern part of France. While the northern part of the country was under direct German control, Vichy remained nominally independent but collaborated with the Nazis in hopes of securing a quick end to the war. The city, became the center of the collaborationist government's political and military activities, playing a pivotal role in the country's wartime administration until 1942 when German forces took full control of France.[1]
