Franco-German Armistice
It was June 10 when the Germans started to get close to Paris and the French government fleed for tours and left Paris an open city. Winston Churchill made several efforts to keep France in the war and to stop any ideas of surrendering, he even proposed merging France and Britain into one indissoluble nation but to no avail, the French would sign the armistice and their surrender on June 22nd, an armistice that gave France an occupied half-sovereign state and also obliged them to pay for the German army's occupation costs. Their army was disbanded and their navy disarmed, they remained with only 100k troops.
