Kids continued to attend school during World War 1. In countries that had compulsory education before the war, nearly all kids continued to go to school. In many countries education was compulsory only up to age 14 or in some cases, only 13.
During World War I, France was not invaded in the traditional sense as it was during World War II. Instead, it was a primary battleground from 1914 to 1918, experiencing extensive fighting on its territory, particularly in regions like the Western Front. The German military launched significant offensives, leading to massive battles such as the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Verdun, which resulted in high casualties and destruction. Ultimately, France remained a sovereign nation throughout the conflict, although its land was heavily scarred by warfare.
During World War I, France suffered the most destruction, particularly in regions like the northern part of the country where intense battles occurred, such as the Somme and Verdun. The extensive trench warfare led to widespread devastation of infrastructure, towns, and farmland. Belgium also faced significant destruction, especially in areas like Ypres, where much of the countryside was ravaged. Overall, both France and Belgium experienced immense physical and economic damage during the war.
During World War I, France was particularly fearful of Germany. This apprehension stemmed from the historical context of the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871), in which France had suffered a humiliating defeat and lost territories like Alsace and Lorraine. The potential for German militarism and expansionism heightened France's concerns, leading to alliances with other nations, including Russia and Britain, to counteract the perceived threat.

During World War I, major battles took place in northeastern France, particularly in regions like the Somme, Verdun, and Champagne. In World War II, France was occupied by German forces, with significant fighting occurring during the Battle of France in 1940 and later in the liberation efforts, notably in Normandy during the D-Day landings in 1944. The impact of both wars was felt across the entire country, but these areas were particularly significant in terms of military operations.
That is a question of opinion for someone who is schooling in France.
