Language faults and lacunae?[edit]

To my eye, this article needs considerable improvement in style and coverage.

In places, the text does not conform with US or British usage (repeated omission of definite or indefinite articles, for instance) and there are imprecisions (is “North Africa” a geographical term, or does it refer to what was then “French North Africa” excluding, for example, Spanish territory?)

Also, the selection of countries with which Vichy did or did not have diplomatic relations seems quite arbitrary. To pick just two significant omissions, what about Japan and Spain?
