The first half of the 20th century is characteristic of the fact that various states, preparing for war, sought to cover their borders and places of deployment of troops with powerful fortified areas. So the Mazhino line appeared in France, in Germany - the Siegfried line, in Finland - the Mannerge -ma line, in Manchuria - the fortifications of the Japanese Kwantun Army. In this regard, the Soviet Union surpassed other states, creating two chains of fortified areas in the West, as well as a developed system of fortifications on the eastern border of the USSR.
