The Maginot Line
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
The French failed line of defense during World War II was the Maginot Line. This series of fortifications was built along the French-German border to deter an invasion, but the Germans circumvented it by attacking through the Ardennes Forest, which was lightly defended. This led to the rapid defeat of France in 1940.
