Initially it was Plan 17. The French believed that if they drove straight into Germany through Alsace and Lorraine, using the fighting spirit "elan" of their soldiers and not relying on technology, they would quickly defeat the Germans. Losses on both sides were heavy and their assault quickly, like elsewhere on the western front, slowed down eventually resorting to trench warfare. After that, it was to not lose.

France was a major power during the war. The country had its share of losses but as a major power, it improved living conditions for soldiers and preferred taking the defensive approach to the war.
