Belgium not learning
The French were too racist and xenophobic and not sufficiently open towards their German neighbours.
t. Emmanuel Macron
Basically French didn't want to give Belgians the impression they were abandoning them
That and French are shit at war
Nothing, the Maginot Line was intended to keep people employed during the Great Depression and to force Germany to go through Belgium, in order to invade. The french simply refused to believe that the Nazis would march through the ardennes, despite plenty of evidence, instead they fell for an obvious distraction.
well the alternative was belgium paying to build a wall that didn't protect them
which was even sillier
Is that... A Trump joke?
no that was the actual french plan
to build fortifications on the french/belgian border and have belgium help fund it
three guesses as to why they refused
>That and French are shit at war
Have you heard of Napoleon?
>Franco-Prussian war: Germany goes through Belgium and crushes France
>WW1: Germany goes through Belgium and gets stuckin trenches
>WW2: Germany goes through Belgium and crushes France
what did they mean by this?
