The Maginot Line was a [[Psyop|psychological comfort]] to the defeatist French, who thought it was an invincible military defensive line against another German invasion of the sort that came in 1870 and 1914.  

The Maginot Line was a [[Psyop|psychological comfort]] to the defeatist French, who thought it was an invincible military defensive line against another German invasion of the sort that came in 1870 and 1914.  

The Line stretched along France's northeastern border, from [[Switzerland]] to [[Luxembourg]], and was completed in 1936 (and named after the French Minister of War, Andrew Maginot, who died in 1932).  The French placed too much confidence in the defenses of this line, believing it would allow them time to mobilize their armies to face any invasion.

[[Belgium]] objected to extending the line to the coast along the Franco-Belgian border, because they felt that would expose Belgium itself to invasion by the Germans.  Behind Belgium the British Expeditionary Force and army of 14 Divisions would be charged with holding the Franco-Belgian border.
