Chapters

The Third Republic, established after the Franco-Prussian War, was marked by instability and frequent changes in government. Despite lasting through WWI, its inherent weaknesses and the rise of socialist and nationalist movements created an environment ripe for change. The German invasion in 1940, shockingly swift and decisive, further destabilized the republic, leading to the armistice and the rise of Vichy France.

The Third Republic, despite its longevity, was plagued by instability and frequent government changes.
The German invasion of France in 1940 was surprisingly quick and effective, leading to the fall of the Third Republic.

Shownotes Transcript

After the Nazi invasion of France in 1940, the French were forced to sign a lopsided armistice that gave control over most of the country to Germany.

However, about 40% of Frace was not occupied by the Germans. It was controlled by a French government that came to power after the invasion and collaborated with and sided with Germany.

The government ruled much of France for four years until the Allied invasion of France, and after liberation, the collaborators paid the price.
