A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on August 1, 2014, August 1, 2015, August 1, 2016, and August 1, 2017.

Was Benin subjected to Vichy rule during WW2, like Vietnam?

That would be a fairly big deal. For instance, if the Germans controlled the French who controlled the country of Benin- then it would be the Jerry's Benin, and if the Wehrmacht came to occupy an area during the war- they would be the ″Benin Jerrys″. I'm just sayin... Anyways, the transitions from one type of state to another are not elaborated much. Where are our Wikipedia editors from Benin?
