WWI RESULT: FRANCE LOSES

War brought France more pain than glory. As you will see next, the only thing that France got from this terrible conflict is less money, less people, and more pain and suffering than ever.
MONEY
France was the third most economically affected country of the Great War with the amazing loss of $24,265,583,000. This, of course, represents a very stupid way of wasting money because this means that. all the investments in new machine guns, flamethrowers, planes, mines, etc. were only useful for killing more people that maybe wouldn't have been even injured if these weapons weren't used.   
CASUALTIES
But more important than the economic loses were the human lives that were taken, because money will come back later, but the people we lost in the battle and especially the civilians who died not being even involved in the conflict, are never coming back.
Their families are suffering those loses right now, as we all are doing. So you can have an idea of the amount of people affected, here's the amount of casualties The Great War brought to our country:
.4.29% of the French population died. There were 1,397,800 military deaths and 300,000 civilian deaths for a total amount 1,697,800 killed people. Besides, there were 4,266,000 wounded people.
WHAT WE GOT TO DO
This is time of reflection, of being together as the beautiful nation we are. Let’s pray for the souls of our lost people and let’s pray for the future, so that we don't have any more conflicts like this one. We have to understand that war leads to suffering, destruction, and sadness, so let’s stop being violent and let’s start building a more peaceful France for our new
generations.
