Dozens of uprisings took place in most regions.

The Maquis resistance fighters guided Allied units across the Alps. They thus liberated Grenoble on August 22 and Valence on August 23.  <\/p><p> <\/p><p>  In the Southwest and the Massif Central, the German retreat beginning on August 17 allowed the FFI to liberate the cities without Allied intervention: Toulouse was liberated on August 19, Montpellier on August 22, and Clermont-Ferrand on August 25 (while in Paris, a successful popular uprising was led by the Resistance from August 19 to 25, 1944).<\/p><p> <\/p><p>  In late August, a large-scale popular uprising led by the Resistance took place in Villeurbanne on August 24, 25, and 26, 1944, preceding the city\u2019s liberation.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>  In Marseille, on August 18, the insurrectionary strike called by the underground CGT was ratified by the CDL (Departmental Liberation Committee). On August 19, the strike was total, and the FFI carried out a series of insurrectionary actions on August 20 and 21. On the 21st, the prefecture was seized, and the CDL moved in the very next day. German General Schaefer surrendered on August 28, and on the 29th, Allied troops and the FFI marched through the Vieux-Port.   <\/p><p> <\/p><p>  On September 15, 1944, nearly the entire country was liberated. But the fighting continued, particularly in eastern France. After the failure of an initial attack in late September 1944, a general offensive in the Vosges Mountains was launched on November 14, 1944. Strasbourg was liberated on November 23, but the Germans launched a counteroffensive in the Ardennes, and it was French troops who defended Strasbourg between December 31, 1944, and January 27, 1945. The Colmar pocket was not cleared until February 9, 1945.    <\/p><p> <\/p><p>  The liberation of the last remaining occupied territories would take place in stages through May 1945.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-430cb3e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"430cb3e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p><p>\u2014 St\u00e9phane Simonnet, Claire Levasseur, Guillaume Balavoine (with a foreword by Olivier Wieviorka), 2004, <em>Atlas of the Liberation of France: June 6, 1944\u2013May 8, 1945: From the Landings to the Liberated Cities<\/em>, Paris, Autrement, \u201cAtlas-M\u00e9moire\u201d series.  <\/p><p>\u2014 Marcot Fran\u00e7ois (ed.), with contributions by Bruno Leroux and Christine Levisse-Touz\u00e9, 2006, <em>*Historical Dictionary of the Resistance*, <\/em>Robert Laffont. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the Allied landings on June 6, 1944, in Normandy, and then in Provence on August 15, the battles of the Liberation freed nearly the entire country as Allied troops advanced.
