Explanation:

France Capitulates to Nazi Germany. On June 22, 1940, the French state approved a cease-fire with Nazi Germany just six weeks after the Nazis began their incursion of Western Europe.

Paris began preparing for combat in September 1939, when Nazi Germany overran Poland, but the combat appeared far beyond until May 10, 1940, when the Germans invaded France and immediately took the French troops. The French administration left Paris on June 10, and the Germans controlled the capital on June 14.
