...Spectacle confronting General Weygand in his air reconnaissance over Flanders was one of utmost confusion. The French VII Army, the French I Army, the British Expeditionary Force, the French IX Army (all of whom swept into Belgium on the night of Germany's invasion of the Low Countries) were pocketed together with the remainder of the Belgian Army-500,000 French, 200,000 British, 400,000 Belgians and a few thousand Dutch. The German Army of Küchler had driven them back from the Albert Canal. The German Army of Reichenau had pounded through the Ardennes Forest...
...race for new lines along the Maas and Moselle, three Allied Armies protected overhead by fighter craft and on the ground by anti-aircraft guns spotted along the roads, started from bases along the Belgian border. The French IX Army wheeled right, into position in the Ardennes Mountains. They settled down at Arlon near the Luxembourg border before the Germans got there. The British Expeditionary Force, 200,000 strong and placed in the centre, rolled smoothly out of the Sambre Valley, heading northeast for Liege and the Albert Canal which its advanced forces reached, festooned with flowers from Belgium...

The city's weary old ruler, Pope Pius IX, ordered his Papal zouaves not to fire upon the invaders. He shut himself up in the Vatican, there to remain to the end of his days. The House of Savoy moved into the Quirinal, which had belonged to the Popes. Pius IX and four of his successors, unceasingly protesting their "despoliation," remained in voluntary imprisonment until the Lateran Treaties of 1929. They and their partisans - to Roman society, "Blacks...
Probably nobody living that day had ever before witnessed that ancient, elaborate ceremony, last performed 93 years ago by Pius IX. The late Pope Pius XI quietly took over St. John's without pageantry after the Lateran Treaty of 1929. More significant than its spectacular pageantry was the political meaning of this "taking possession."
