| - On Jun 22, 1940 France had surrendered to Nazi Germany. Vichy France was a French led puppet state in Southern France, it often collaborated with the Nazis, leading many to disapprove of it. Though many just began to live life with the new German and French leaders, a few stood up to the Nazis and became Partisans, or rebels. Free France was one of those Partisan groups. It attacked the Vichy Government often. It ambushed trucks carrying Frenchmen to fight, shipments of resources, and once in a while, diplomats. Almost all of their targets were heading toward Germany, or just came back from Germany. Every once in a while, Free France would get enough resources, guns, and men to rise up and take a town, however in 1944 Germany had sent a large number of outdated V-1s to Vichy France. These were used against the Partisans and their towns. They went back to the country side, however a large number of them moved north, where they faced a rival group claiming to be the successor to the French Government. They were the Paris Partisans. Their was fighting among the four states near or in Northern France: The Germans, Free France, and the Paris Partisans. The Vichy government also fought along side with the Germans, because unrest was spreading South. This continued for six years, until 1950 when most of the French population, regardless of the group they supported, rose up against the Germans and the Vichy Government, and because most German troops here had been sent to keep the Soviets out of Poland. In Berlin, a Nuclear bomb had killed the Führer, leading to a civil war in the Nazi Party. The French Partisans began a massive campaign against the Germans, which worked well. All German soldiers had mutinied and went home, were killed, or were captured. The victory was celebrated, but a civil war now existed in France as three major groups were fighting for control. The Free France movement had officially declared its independence, and controlled most of northern France, excluding Paris. The Vichy Government had all of Southern France, a better military, and a working infrastructure, undamaged by warfare, as most rebels had already been kicked out. The Paris Partisans were a city government, only controlling Paris. They manage the day to day affairs of it. Several attempts have been made to kicked out the PP, but they have all failed. Free France began rebuilding infrastructure and setting up elections. Many Frenchmen moved here for freedom and because the Vichy Government was cracking down on rebels.
