evaluate how the french, including marshal phillepe petain, view the Vichy regime that he led from 1940 to 1944

The French, including Marshal Philippe Petain, who led the Vichy Regime between 1940 and 1944, viewed the Vichy Regime as a German imperial authoritative government.

Explanation:

The Vichy Regime was hated by all french people.  In addition to being an authoritarian regime, it censored the press, prohibited divorce, and made abortion a capital offense in France.  As an unpopular imperial regime, the Vichy government also arrested and deported 13,000 Jews to Gestapo camps, including 4,000 children.  The french so much hated the German government that was imposed on their nation, including the German troops that flooded the french streets, that at the end of the war in 1945, the collaborators of the regime were punished with death or imprisonment.
