History

World-War II

During World War II, France was split into several occupation zones. To the north was a somewhat lawless zone controlled by Nazi Germany, and to the south was the French State, also known as Vichy France. While it was not occupied by Germany, it cooperated with it in many ways.

Post-World War II

After World War II, the Provisional Republic of France came into effect. After the economic decline of Europe after the American market primarily shifted its' funds, leaving only Ireland, Portugal, and to a certain extent the UK as members of its' open market, the regime was torn apart by fighting over legitamacy. In the North, the Frenchmen who were under Nazi control were eager to reestablish the Third Republic of France, while to the South, many Nazi sympathizers and remaining Vichy political members were leaning towards the reestablishment of an authoritarian regime. The French Civil War, which began in 1949, killed nearly 490,000 Frenchmen, and further dividing the nation.
