France's military strategy was highly defensive, there was a good six months where France could have attacked Germany, but neither side attacked each other (Germany had their hands full invading Norway, Denmark, Poland, and more smaller European countries). The French military expected that when Germany was to attack, they would do so through through Belgium as Germany had in WWI, so the French military used the Dyle plan, which focused their forces along the Dyle River in Belgium. They armed the Dyle with new anti-tank technologies. This was a miscalculation in two ways, firstly while there were some German forces in Belgium, Germany's strongest forces were to the Low Countries, secondly the anti-tank technology didn't work.

Germany strategy during the first and second world war was strategic bombing, use of chemical weapons and the massacre of civilians capable of fighting against them.
Military strategy during World War I was characterized by trench warfare, resulting in a stalemate on the Western Front. Both the Allies and Central Powers faced immense challenges in breaking through entrenched positions, leading to protracted battles with heavy casualties. Innovations such as tanks and aircraft were introduced, but the war largely relied on mass infantry assaults and artillery barrages. Overall, the strategy was marked by a lack of mobility and a focus on attrition rather than decisive victories.
Yes, trenches were commonly used as a defensive strategy during World War II to protect soldiers from enemy attacks and provide cover.
The overall military strategy employed by the Allied forces during World War II was a combination of coordinated offensives on multiple fronts to weaken and defeat the Axis powers. This strategy involved launching major offensives in Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific to divide and conquer enemy forces, while also utilizing air power and naval superiority to control key territories and supply lines. Ultimately, the Allies aimed to overwhelm the Axis forces through superior numbers, technology, and strategic planning to achieve victory.
