What was the string of French and British bunkers along the the German border?

The string of French and British bunkers along the German border was known as the Maginot Line. Constructed primarily by France in the 1920s and 1930s, it was a series of fortifications designed to deter a German invasion. While it included various bunkers, artillery casemates, and underground tunnels, the line ultimately proved ineffective during World War II as German forces bypassed it through Belgium, leading to the fall of France in 1940. The Maginot Line symbolizes the limitations of static defense strategies in the face of mobile warfare.
