	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Maginot Line (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Maginot Line (named after French minister of defence André Maginot) was a line of concrete fortifications, tank obstacles, machine gun posts and other defenses which France constructed along its borders with Germany and with Italy in the wake of World War I.
		When Belgium abrogated the treaty in 1936 and declared neutrality, the Maginot Line was quickly extended along the Franco-Belgian border, but not to the standard of the rest of the Line.
		As originally envisioned, the Maginot Line was part of a larger defence plan, in which the attackers would meet with resistance from the French Army, but planning in general failed, leading to the loss of effectiveness of the Line.

		MAGINOT LINE [Maginot Line], system of fortifications along the eastern frontier of France, extending from the Swiss border to the Belgian.
		Its actual strength was never tested, for the line was flanked by the Germans in their French campaign of 1940.
		Like fortified lines since the Great Wall of China, the chief effect it had was to create a false sense of security; it could not eliminate the necessity for mobile warfare, and that particular lesson was thoroughly learned after the French collapse of 1940.

		thermal energy from the initial blast throughout the 105 square miles would be sufficient to ignite items having the same degree of flammability as thin fl rubber at every point that was in line of sight of the contributing weapons.
		Further, survivors may be too injured and so deprived of fire-fighting tools and presented with such an adverse environment of toxins and heat that conducting an organized response would be difficult or impossible.
