The French soldiers fought ,and died, in enormous numbers in WWIit seems as though most of those killed were the best of France.

Remember that the French wer sold out by their politicians in WW2,not least by those in government failing to protest the early Nazi moves in the Rhineland,and by neglecting the production of modern tanks and aircraft in the following years. The renault tank could have made a huge difference in the spring of 1940 if only the French government had ordered them produced in more than token quantity.

Pretty much the case in all of Europe, the World Wars took their toll pretty much on every European country.
