  2. It was a terrible idea and it was outdated long before it was built. They were also delusional about the ability to reinforce troops in Belgium in time so it was doubly worthless. It was also penetrated directly very quickly as well, they did not simply go around it. Modern direct fire weapons and engineer and special forces brigades made it so it was essentially pointless to spend much resources and money making static fortifications. Declaring war on Germany was simply delusional it was certain they would be overrun from the start and the allies didn't gain anything at all from france being in the conflict just the opposite.
