Are you referring to World War I or World War II?
In World War I, Germany was the reason for the opening of the Western Front, by the invasion of Belgium in order to attack France.
In World War II, Germany, again, was the reason for the opening of the Western Front. First, they attacked Denmark and Norway (which would be more considered a Northern Front) which was the first contact of German and Allied troops (the British deployed into Norway, but retreated). The Germans then attacked the Benelux countries and France, all falling in a matter of weeks.
In both world wars, the initial front was the Eastern Front (on a German standpoint).
