WW1 was devastating to France because of the number of young men who were killed in battle. Additionally, much of the fertile north land was taken out of farming for nearly a decade. As part of the reparations, France required Germany to pay huge amounts in food and money to France. In turn, Germany grew resentful of France and ultimately this led to WWII. The long term results were that France lacked sufficient manpower to engage in a full frontal war with the Germans when they invaded in WWII. That is why they had to turn to a guerrilla warfare model in WWII.
