The Second Armistice at Compiégne

An armistice between the nation and the French Third Republic has been signed at Compiégne, in the very railway carriage in which the German surrender in World War I was negotiated. Under the terms of the armistice, a French government under the leader based out of Vichy will continue to administer most of southern France, while the rest of the country falls under a German Occupation Zone. Some French officers have vowed to continue resistance from abroad, but this puts an effective end to the fighting in France, at least for the time being.
