_{history in the games {2/?}}

_{from the 1930s onward, europe was awash in the dramatic events of world war ii. france surrendered to german conquerors in june of 1940, but french involvement in the international conflict was far from over. the germans installed a vichy puppet government in a concentrated area of the nation without much outward protest.}

_{however, some brave souls organized themselves into a coalition known as the french resistance (la résistance française) to rebel against their teutonic captors. though some resistors (called “maquis”) were more violent, aspiring to hurt and even kill germans, others were more proactive in the war effort. these men and women endeavored to break enemy codes, pass helpful information along to the allies, and disrupt german militant communication.} 

_{though much credit is given to ally troops for liberating france on june 6, 1944 (”d-day”), french resistance fighters were actually instrumental in freeing themselves from german control.}
