The incompetance of the French during this rarely discussed, but highly important war, was much greater in the Land war, which I have been reading about lately. France was THEE highest rated military land force in Europe at this time, but clearly, allowed this reputation , to disuade them from updating their military armaments, procedures and training. The result was a total destruction of all their former power, and a newly formed Power, Germany, took control, and held it till 1914.
