Answer
Armistice, as advised by General Maxime Weygand, was a ceasefire agreement with Germany following military setbacks for France in 1940. This decision was made after the German invasion of France had overwhelmed French defenses, leading to a rapid collapse of the French army. The armistice effectively ended France's involvement in World War II and resulted in the occupation of northern France by Germany.
