Which French Republic ended with the 10 July 1940 vote?

Third Republic
Fourth Republic
Fifth Republic
Second Republic

Answer

The Third Republic, which began in 1870, ended with the vote on July 10, 1940. This vote granted full power to Marshal Philippe Pétain, who established the Vichy Regime. The Third Republic was characterized by political instability, with frequent changes in government and a weak presidency. The Vichy Regime, on the other hand, was a collaborationist government that worked with Nazi Germany during World War II.
