The French Army of the First World War is a bit sad to talk about. They won the war, but at what cost? The war destroyed many parts of France and Belgium. It took decades for it all to be rebuilt, costing billions of dollars. But what about the human cost? 1,150,000 men and boys were sent to fight for France, and 1,150,000 did not come back.

The First World War, if anything, is the war that really opened the eyes up to the public that war was not fun and games. War was something that should be actively avoided, not embraced. The war truly changed  France, and the rest of the world, forever.
