I presume similar factors were at play in Belgium, German, and Austria?
Yes, but France lost proportionately more than any other Western front belligerent. A million and a half dead, another million and a half permanently disabled. Ironically (given what @pkrugman.bsky.social is using this analogy for), that led them to rely even more on immigrant labor.
