Who fought at the Battle of Marne?
In the Battle of the Marne, the German troops tried to take Paris, France ASAP. The First Battle of Marne started in 1914 and ended as a stalemate. The Second Battle of the Marne was on 1918 which also ended as a stalemate. The first set of the two was the first major battle in World War I. The French used "trench warfare" to try and slow the Russian advancement to Paris. There were mines, barbed wire, machine guns, and massive troops protecting the trenches. Trench Warfare was something that was very miserable. This type of warfare had bad living conditions for people who lived in it. Troops were stationed and kept there. Food was scarce, water was bad, and everyone was dirty. Many died from the harsh conditions of Trench Warfare.

What was the major battle in June 1918?
The (Third) Battle of the Marne, in France, about fifty miles northeast of Paris. This was the first WWI battle in which large numbers of Americans took part, and they saved the Allies, being thrown into the line when the German attack had broken the French line and there was nothing between the Germans and Paris, and victory. This was the height of the German Freidensturm, their "Peace Offensive", by which massive attacks the Germans meant to win the war (using troops freed from the eastern front by the withdrawal from the war of Russia) before America could make its weight felt on the battlefield. Part of this massive battle was the struggle of the US Marine Brigade to capture Belleau Wood, the reporting of which, being the first big battle for American troops, electrified America. The American troops involved were mostly the 2nd Division (which included the Marine Brigade) and the 3rd Division. The 3rd Division to this day is "The Rock of the Marne" for its stout defense against some of the best German shock troops. After the Americans stopped this German offensive, the Germans never took another step forward in France.
