Vichy France refers to the authoritarian regime established in the unoccupied southern part of France after the country was defeated by Nazi Germany in 1940. It was officially known as the French State and was led by Marshal Philippe Pétain, who collaborated with the Nazis while maintaining a façade of independence. The Vichy government implemented policies aligned with Nazi ideology, including anti-Semitic laws and repression of political dissent. This regime lasted until the Allied liberation of France in 1944, and it remains a controversial and complex chapter in French history.
