Study Notes

The Fall of France

In May 1940, Germany launched an attack on France, prompting over 300,000 French and British forces to retreat to Dunkirk in northern France.
The troops were evacuated to England via hundreds of ships, including British naval vessels and civilian-owned boats, in the largest naval military evacuation in history.
By June 1940, Hitler's army had captured Paris, and the entire country was under Nazi control.
Vichy France, the southern region, was not directly occupied but was controlled by a puppet government set up by the Nazis.

Winston Churchill and Britain

Winston Churchill became Britain's prime minister on May 10, 1940, the same day Germany began its invasion of France.
Churchill was a skilled orator who rallied the British people with speeches, including his famous "blood, toil, tears, and sweat" address to the House of Commons.
After France fell, Hitler turned his attention to invading Britain, but Churchill vowed to resist, saying "we shall not flag or fail" despite the Nazi occupation of large parts of Europe.
