The Maginot Line
- France wanted Germans to be Crippled: Germany should suffer and should never attack France again.
- The Maginot line was a great wall built between France and Germany that would have kept Germany separate from France.
- Want reparation money
- Want a defensive position against Germany
- Build fortifications along French/German border.
- Leads them into a false sense of Security; France didn't improve their military or their artillery.
Subjunctive Question: What if France had finished building the Maginot Line? How would that have changed Hitler's strategy in the Second World War?
