For anyone wondering, Vichy became a capital because it was the closest to Paris, it was a hub for train transport that led to Paris, it had big hotels and it had a very good telephone connection for the time. It does not make much sense for the capital not to move back to Paris, but already makes more sense than Djibouti. If Vichy stayed the capital, it would have made a strange alternate history, as it probably would have grown a lot from it's new status, much like the other planned capital cities like Brazilia and Washington DC.

@@siyacer oh so you aint trolling. Yeah so to dont know history like that the only way i see is that you are American. The usa literally changed nothing to the outcome of the war, Yes they helped obviously, But France was from far the most important and strongest nation of the Entente. The usa joined in late 1917 and started to really fight only in 1918. They were supplied and Trained by France. But when the spring offensive was over, which was the last thing that could possibly make Germany win. The war was already over. The Germans couldnt hold any longer,. And i didnt even mention literally all of the war yet. Since 1914 France did the most and even more if we just look at the Western front. Yet France wasnt just focusing there. Honestly i see a lot of American who dont know anything about history say this about Ww2. Even tho it's false too, i didnt expect one of them to say that about ww1. So i honestly hope for u that u aint thinking Ww1 is Ww2. As if u do there is just no saving you. But even in Ww2 this statement wouldnt be that true. I did not have a lot of time to write this comment, so i might have forgotten some things, and i couldnt go in the details too much. But either way, what i said is still true, and your statement above just suceeded in proving you are american and obviously dont know what ur talking about. If u still need more then i can come back later as i will have more time. But please, dont talk if u dont even know what ur talking about
