France bore the brunt of the first world war which took place on its soil. It suffered the highest number of casualties. Ten percent of the adult male population in age to be enlisted (17/45) died in the war, with some social categories hit even harder (50% death toll for the peasanry). Women replaced men in the factories and in the fields during the war, and after it to make for the replacement of the dead.
