What was happening in France in 1948?

Answer 1

France was invaded and defeated by Germany in what was called the blitzkrieg.

The German tactics proved much more efficient than those of the allies, especially the outdated strategy of the French military. A stunningly large number of French soldiers was killed in the three first weeks of the invasion, as they tried to stop the German tanks used in large numbers. The death toll during these three weeks was higher that any moment of WWI (the battles of the Somme, Marne, or Verdun included), including for the French regiments protecting the English retreat at Dunkirk. The French government appealed to Marshal Pétain, an revered old soldier, who signed a truce with the Germans to stop the slaughter. Half of France was then occupied under the truce treaty's terms - and all of France from 1942.
