	Vichy France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vichy France, or the Vichy regime was the de facto French government of 1940-1944 during the Nazi Germany occupation of World War II.
		Vichy France was established after France surrendered to Germany in 1940, and took its name from the government's administrative centre in Vichy, southeast of Paris (which remained the official capital, to which Pétain always intended to return the government when this became possible).
		The Vichy government's claim to be the de jure French government was challenged by the Free French Forces of Charles de Gaulle, based first in London and later in Algiers, and French governments ever since have held that the Vichy regime was an illegal government run by traitors.

		Vichy French naval and aircraft units at sea (except for convoy points) must always return to base during the return to base step unless Vichy France is hostile to an Allied major power.
		If Vichy France is active and hostile to any major power, units controlled by the major power that installed the Vichy government may freely enter Vichy controlled territory and Metropolitan Vichy without having to satisfy the foreign troop commitment limit.
