Explanation:

• The lesson that we can learn from this text is that it is always better to stay prepared before the onset of adversity. Even if you are unable to entirely overcome the adversity, you can at least take precautionary measures to avoid the same at the earliest.
• As we see in the passage as well, even though building the Maginot line did not really save France from Germany’s attack, it helped them in a different, unexpected way, that is, it caused England to enter the war sooner.
• Belgium was a neutral country and England and Belgium were both allies so when Germany infiltrated Belgium, it caused England to enter the war sooner which turned out to be beneficial for France. Thus, it is always better to stay prepared.
