- Want Germany to be crippled
- Want reparations
- Want a defensive position against Germany
- Build fortifications along the French/German boarder
- Lead to a false sense of security as their military hadn't been properly developed

"We could hardly dream of building a kind of Great Wall of France, which would in any case be far too costly. Instead we have foreseen powerful but flexible means of organizing defense, based on the dual principle of taking full advantage of the terrain and establishing a continuous line of fire everywhere." -André Maginot
