Vichy Regime Established — Pétain Granted Full Powers

The National Assembly (569 votes to 80) grants Marshal Philippe Pétain full powers to promulgate a new constitution, effectively ending the Third Republic and creating the État français with Vichy as its capital. Pétain's 'National Revolution' promotes 'Work, Family, Fatherland,' dismantles republican institutions, and engages in active collaboration with Nazi Germany including persecution of Jews and Resistance members.
