| ARTICLES RELATED TO François Mitterrand | | | | | | | |  François Mitterrand: Encyclopedia II - Philippe Pétain - Post-war trial and legacyIn April 1945, Pétain was returned to France, where he was tried for collaboration (or treason), convicted and sentenced to death by firing squad in July-August 1945.

| | | | | François Mitterrand: Encyclopedia II - Philippe Pétain - World War II and Vichy France In the spring of 1940, France was invaded by Nazi Germany. After the French defeat, Marshal Pétain was appointed Prime Minister of France and granted extraordinary powers. The constitutionality of these actions was later challenged by de Gaulle's government, but at the time Pétain was widely accepted as France's saviour. On June 22 he signed an armistice with Germany that gave the Nazis control over the north and west of the country, including Paris, but left the rest under a separate regime, including about two-fifths of France ...

| | | | | François Mitterrand: Encyclopedia II - History of Paris - Ancient Paris The area of modern Paris has been inhabited since at least the fourth millennium BC, although little is known about these early inhabitants. The first known permanent settlement on the site was founded about 250 BC by a Celtic tribe called the Parisii, who established a fishing village on the Seine island that was later to become the Ile de la Cité. This was known as Lutetia, a name first recorded by Julius Caesar in his Gallic Wars.
Lutetia was a prosperous place and occupied a very strategic position on the river, controllin ...
