History

Page Module:Message box/ambox.css has no content.

During World War I, from October 1914 to October 1918, Carvin was occupied by the Germans. Over 6,000 soldiers are buried in one of the largest German cemeteries in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region.

Carvin was awarded the Croix de Guerre on 28 September 1920.

In May 1940, during the German invasion of France, a battle in Carvin's town centre allowed the bulk of British and French troops to escape to the Dunkirk evacuation. Once the allies had gone, the troops of the Wehrmacht arrested and murdered many miners at Arras.

In 1947, Carvin lost nearly one third of its territory with the separation of the commune of Libercourt.
