I'm surprised. Just dipping into single volume histories of WWI:
History books by historians are one thing, I'm thinking of more casual mentions online and in text and in some more casual fiction. Then it's less about what the French thought about the 1910s and what we now think, and want to be true.
(My favourite example of that isn't the French strikes but when a comedian doing a thing on oil politics shortly after Iraq went 'the British Army swiftly sent troops to the Middle East to an oil refinery?! But wasn't about Belgium??? HMMM, EH', because why on Earth would we want to secure a source of oil in a big war against Germany eh readers??)
