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, it doesn't sound like French people are cowards - in fact, the defeat might have been due to an ineffective strategy and tactics rather than a lack of courage. It's likely that French forces were overwhelmed by the number of German troops.
