Introduction

France was insulated during the great depression due to the fact their economy was insulated with a focus on agriculture. Due to this, France's social, political, and economic year was far superior to the rest of Europe. The country celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Tour de France and mourned the loss of 200 citizens in the country's second-worst train accident, the Lagny-Pomponne Railroad Disaster.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lagny-Pomponne rail accident</span>

The Lagny-Pomponne rail disaster occurred on 23 December 1933, between Pomponne and Lagny-sur-Marne, 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Paris, when the 4-8-2 locomotive of the express for Strasbourg crashed at 110 km/h (65 mph) into the rear of an auxiliary train bound for Nancy, which was stopped on the railway. The impact crushed and splintered the last five cars of the Nancy train, older wooden cars pressed into service for the holidays. Both trains were full of people going home to their families for Christmas. 204 people died and 120 were injured. It is second to the worst railway disaster in French history, after the 1917 Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne derailment, and the deadliest ever in peacetime.
