Germany invaded France at the beginning of World War II through a rapid military campaign known as the Blitzkrieg, or "lightning war." In May 1940, German forces bypassed the heavily fortified Maginot Line by invading through the Ardennes Forest, which was perceived as less defensible. This surprise attack allowed them to encircle French and British troops, leading to the swift fall of France in June 1940. The German strategy relied on speed, coordination, and the use of tanks and aircraft to achieve decisive victories.
