Vichy France facts:

It takes its name from the government's capital in Vichy, south-east of Paris.

The French Army was reduced to 100,000 men and the French prisoners of war would remain in captivity.

The French had to pay the occupation costs of the German troops, and prevent any French people leaving the country.

Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité (Freedom, Equality, Brotherhood), the French national motto, was replaced by Travail, Famille, Patrie (Labour, Family and Country).
