<div>'''Stagflation''' is a combination of the words "[[stagnation]]" and "[[inflation]]". It is a term used by economists to describe a situation where high inflation and low growth combined to produce high [[unemployment]]. The most recent period of stagnation occurred during the [[Jimmy Carter|Carter Administration]] in the late 1970s.<br />

<div>'''Hydroelectric power''' is a means of providing [[electricity]] from the forces of moving [[water]], and is the leading renewable [[energy]] source in the world. Hydropower plants account for about 24% of the world's power supply. <ref>http://people.howstuffworks.com/hydropower-plant.htm</ref> Hydroelectric power is seen both in large [[dam | dams]] and in "[[small hydro]]" projects that are much smaller in scale, and might serve just one community. Larger hydroplants use dams to hold back water, creating a large [[reservoir]] of water, which is [[potential energy]]. The water becomes [[kinetic energy]] when a gate is opened, allowing the water to flow down and turn the blades of a [[turbine]], creating energy.<br />

<div>'''Vichy France''' can be dated from June 10 1940, when Marshal [[Philippe Pétain]] was granted full power to negotiate with the Germans. At this point the military defeat of [[France]] was inevitable so Pétain, a war hero from [[World War I]], suspended democratic government and surrendered to Germany.<br />
<br />
Following the French surrender on June 22 1940 a new Government was established at [[Vichy]]. [[Vichy France]] is used to refer to the unoccupied area of southern France. However, the Vichy regime has administrative control over all France. This regime saw the co-operation with German forces, including deportations during the [[Holocaust]], and a full revolution in state government and French society. The French motto of "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, equality, fraternity) was replaced with "Travail, Famille, [[Patrie]]" (Work, family, homeland). [[Trade Unions]] and other political opponents of [[fascism]] were oppressed, [[rugby league]], identified as traditionally anti-fascist was banned - and the sport even remain legally restricted in post-war France.<br />
<br />
In 1942 a revolution of the [[French colonies]] in [[Africa]] against the Vichy French was lead by [[Louis DeBois]] but did not gain wide spread support. In September DeBois was captured and sentenced to death.<ref>Martin King (1984). "The outcast Frenchmen". WWII remembrance press, New York. pg 128.</ref><br />

The [[United States]] granted Vichy full diplomatic recognition, thus acknowledging the puppet regime's [[legitimacy]], and it sent Admiral [[William Leahy]] to its capital as American ambassador. <ref>[http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/WorldWar2/leahy.htm President Roosevelt to the Appointed Ambassador to France (Leahy), 20 December 1940], U.S., Department of State, Publication 1983, Peace and War: United States Foreign Policy, 1931-1941 (Washington, D.C.: U.S., Government Printing Office, 1943), pp. 595-598.</ref><br />
