France was the western front which is German first attack Franch front of west..(Talking about WWI)
I'm presuming you're inquiring about the first major battle of World War One. You should look up the First Battle of the Marne which began near Champagne, Fr. The military tactics early on were still very mobile and each side (French vs Germans) continued to try and out flank each other (attack from the side rather than front to front). They had a domino effect that became known as the "Race to the Sea". Once the solders were settled in, they changed to trench warfare tactics and became very stagnant. This became the Western Front. My wife and I took many history classes (just for fun) and one was about WWI. We actually traveled to Europe, France, Belgium, Germany to visit these battle grounds. My grand father was a WWI veteran, I still have his purple heart.
The British and the French fought with the Germans on the Western Front.
First battle of Marne
Invasion of Normandy or D-Day was first turning point of the war on the western front, a 2nd turning point was Battle of the Bulge.
The first large battle of the US Civil War was fought
These are some of the major battles of World War I on the western front. Battle of Liège, Battle of the Frontiers, First Battle of the Marne, First Battle of Ypres, Second Battle of Ypres, Second Battle of Artois, Second Battle of Champagne, Battle of Verdun, Battle of the Somme, Battle of Cambrai, German Spring Offensive of 1918 and then the Allied "Hundred Days" Offensive resulted in the collapse and capitulation of the German Empire.
