After the Revolution, they wanted to replace the feudal system of Duchies and Counties by a territorial unit that didn't correspond to anything that had previously existed. They chose to name this new territorial unit - le département - after rivers or mountains or some other natural entity.
They were divided in WWII because after the
French government handed over North France to the Germans by force with no
choice, the South France citizens weren't to
happy about this decision. The South France
people eventually created Vichy Frane. Then
the French Republic made Free France Force
which won many battles. This soon made the
Nazis push harder on France. Obviously this
small band of troops couldn't defeat all the
Nazis. But they began to occupy areas in
Africa and Asia where they conducted their
business there. Only North France was taken.
But south France remained free but they were still Germans around fighting. On maps
there would be a line cutting straight throug
Mid-France.
Regions are administrative divisions, largely the successors of the former provinces. They are not independent or autonomous states (laws are exactly the same on any part of the French territory), but they have some influence in local matters and serve as a sort of really wide local council, aiming to coordinate actions of smaller areas (like town councils) in a wider picture. A share of the local tax enable regions to do their bit, like maintaining or building the lycées (senior high schools).
