Vichy the generally accepted name for the fascist pro-Hitler regime in France from July 1940 to August 1944 during World War II (1939-45). The name comes from the city of Vichy, where the collaborationist French government of H. P. Pétain was located. This government had jurisdiction over approximately one-third of the French territory (the so-called unoccupied zone in southern France which, by an agreement of the Pétain government, was occupied by German and Italian troops in November 1942). The resistance movement played a great role in the downfall of Vichy France. REFERENCEKissel’gof, I.
