the battle of the bulge (:
The Battle of the Bulge (officially called Operation Watch on the Rhine by the Germans and the Ardennes-Alsace Campaign by the Americans) was fought in Belgium.The "Bulge" refers to a large bulge (approx 50 miles deep and 35 miles across) in the Allied front line where the Germans pushed the Allies back at the start of the campaign
The allies pushed the German armies back from the 'Atlantic Wall' and advanced into France
During World War II, Germany's last serious attempt to defeat the Allies through offensive military action was the Battle of the Bulge. In mid-December of 1944, German forces surprised American troops in the Ardennes region of Europe and drove westwards for 60 miles before being contained then pushed back to their starting lines by the end of January 1945.
The German attack on the American lines pushed the Americans many miles back in one area resulting in a bulge in the frontlines in Belgium.
It put the Germans on the defensive until they were pushed back to Berlin. Stalingrad was a huge turning point because that was really the first battle that Germany lost. They had been on a huge roll since the beginning of the war, and it showed the Allies that Germany wasn't invincible. Even though Adolf Hitler demanded they fight to the last man, General Field Marshal Friedrich Von Paulus's 6th army surrendered.

The Nazists took over Italy in WWI. The allies and the Italian partisans fought against them and pushed them out.
The British pushed back the Germans and Italians at El Alamein in WWII.
The Germans began a full retreat where again they lost in the Battle of Kursk and then the Soviets pushed west to Berlin
During World War II, in December of 1944, a surprise-attack by German forces was unleashed on the center of the Allied line that ran from the English Channel southward to the border of Switzerland. In the forested region of the Ardennes, and in severe winter weather, the Germans made initial gains (creating a 'bulge' for which the battle was named) only to be stopped then pushed back to their starting line in January of 1945. This was the famous Battle of the Bulge.

the allies were not defeated at the bulge. rather, the German forces were pushed back
That is not true. When the German Ardennes offensive surrounded US forces at Bastogne and pushed back US forces elsewhere, Patton withdrew his army from contact with German forces elsewhere, march north to reinforce US positions and participated in the defeat and ultimate failure of the German Ardennes offensive (Battle of the Bulge)
In simple terms, Yes. British and american forces pushed back the germans all the way back to the rhine.
