Actually the Maginot line was completed in the 1930s and was outflanked by Hitlers armies in 1940.

However the reason is still the same, ie the beginnings of the Maginot line was still a series of powerful fortress towns and redoubts along the French/German border, and Schleiffens plan was to just go around the side.
Belgians still copped it in the neck.
