France was defeated by Germany in a couple of weeks in 1940. Are French people cowards? It sounds like they just ran away to avoid battle.

No, French people are not cowards. It is true that France was defeated by Germany in 1940 in a few weeks, however, the situation was much more complex than just a “run away”. Factors such as the lack of cooperation between Allied countries, the inadequate French military equipment, the German Blitzkrieg tactics, and many more were key elements that contributed to France’s short defeat. Ultimately, French people today should not be branded as cowards due to a situation that occurred over 80 years ago.
