We all know that the last century was very turbulent for all countries, and many countries in the world suffered huge losses because of the two wars of the last century. We also know that Germany is the provocate in any war. After the end of World War I, Germany regrouped and conquered most of Europe at lightning speed. It can be seen that Germany's military strength at that time was strong. But there will still be a very confident country, and that is France. At the time, France claimed that his army, the best in the world, and that he was not afraid of Germany at all.
In addition, France was very strong during World War I, and before the outbreak of World War II, Germany bypassed France and decided to eliminate all allies around France before going to war with France. France naturally knew what Germany was thinking, so before Germany attacked itself, France built the so-called strongest defense: the Maginot Line.
But the battle disappointed many countries who wanted to see a good show. Because the army, which is known as the world's number one team, met the German army, the two armies fought for only 44 days. The war, which supposedly destroyed the entire country, ended with the surrender of the French army. Many people may find this confusing. It stands to reason that although the French army could not defeat the Germans, the French army could hold out for a long time. So why did the French surrender in just 44 days?
In fact, this matter is easy to explain. First of all, the French army has not yet recovered from the First Great War. Therefore, as soon as the French army realized that the war was not good for them and that holding on would increase human losses, they decided to surrender. There is also the fact that France's understanding of war was still limited to World War I, while Germany fought blitzkrieg at its peak. With the battle of aircraft and tanks, France was automatically defeated. Moreover, France was not as advanced as the German army in terms of weapons and equipment, which led to the defeat of France in the war.
