How did the Nazis use the Ardennes to their advantage?
The defensive doctrine upon which France had built the Maginot Line wrongly assumed that an attack by Germany would be from the front as had been common in the Great War. The Ardennes was considered to be terrain that an attacker would not attempt. France had not fortified the Belgian route and by fienting at the fortified front and attacking through the Ardennes and the Low Countries, the German's Second Army Group was able to penetrate France in depth. The static defense had failed.

Why did world war 1 last 4 years and not 6 months?
Tactics, comrades, tactics! The Germans had expected to beat back the French on the western front before Russia had mobilized its troops, seeing as the Reds didn't have railroad systems. This would have prevented a war on two fronts, which is very preferable. The French and German armies were nearly evenly matched, gaining small amounts of land at a time in the trenches of No-Man's land. Then the British stepped in, and by the time Germany had figured out they really weren't going anywhere the Russians had made it to the Eastern front. The American forces joined in, and Germany's quick and easy route to victory was destroyed before their very eyes.
