Why Was France Leading Up To The French Revolution?

France suffered nearly two million deaths during the war and nearly four million soldiers were wounded. And things got worst after the Great War. With a quarter of the dead being under twenty-four years of age, the birthrate plummeted. France was also short of three million workers and the gap had to be filled with foreigners whose mere presence created resentment amongst French laborers, and so borderline fascism first made its appearance.

Out of the horrible aftermath of the war came a group of political figures with a new set of ideals, authoritarian fascists. Using the ruins left behind by the German onslaught to justify their new radical ideas, they built a political campaign fueled by hate for Germans. They blamed the current state

The attacks were ultimately blamed on Germany despite evidence suggesting other possible suspects.

The fascist got what they wanted and by 1970, France had entered the Franco-German War. The war raged for three years of almost no progress by either side. Most of the combat was fought in the old ways of trench warfare at The Maginot Line, until finally a cease-fire was declared in 1973 putting an end to a pointless
