What is called the Battle of the Bulge in the United States was part of the German Ardennes Offensive of 1944. It was a last-gasp effort by the German Army to stave off defeat in the Western European Theater - its primary goal was the Belgian city of Antwerp, the major port from which Allied supplies were flooding onto the continent. It was hoped by that re-taking Antwerp, the Allied forces in Western Europe could be contained long enough to possibly negotiate a peace (or, alternately, allow for more time for Hitler's Superweapons (the various V-rockets and jet aircraft) to play a significant role).
While initially successful, mostly due to failures of Allied tactical planners to appreciate that a major German offensive was in the making, the German attack ultimately stalled due to lack of fuel. As the weather cleared a week or so after the battle began, Allied tactical aircraft ravaged stalled German units, and prevented the furthest penetrating German units from resupplying.
In the end, the offensive was a German failure, and a strategic Allied victory, as the German army lost most of its remaining quality units, and the Luftwaffe effectively ceased to exist. The Battle of the Bulge was the last significant German offensive of WW2.
