French Fear and the Maginot Line
- wants Germans to be crippled
- Want reparation money
- want a defensive position against Germany
- Build fortifications along French/German border
- huge wall with guns and indoor air conditioning (was an absolute disaster, spent all their money and germans simply went around the wall)
Summary
The french saw Germany as a threat so they took a defensive stance on things. They decided to build a large wall to keep the Germans out and ended up spending a lot of money for a wall that did nothing for them. The germans ended up simply going around the wall instead and it was worthless.
