It was mainly just because of stalemate.

∙ 14y agoA framework for this answer should focus on the following factors:
- Length of time. Western front was not continuous in time. With the fall of the French army and evacuation of Dankurk, the WF seized to exist between the 1940 and the 1944.
- Geography. WF when present was far smaller in length then the EF.
- Weather. Extreme seasonal flactuations typical for the EF were much less prominent in the WF. Men and equipment of the EF were exposed extreme cold of the Russian winters and the heat of the steppes in the southern flank of the EF. Autumn and spring "rasputitsa" (inpassable unpaved roads) contributed to seasonal fluctuations in activity.
- Forces involved. From the day the EF conflict began on June 22, 1941 to the fall of Berlin, multi-million men strong armies were involvedfrom both sides of the EF. WF never experienced near the saturation levels of the EF, well over 70% of German losses occured in the EF. Towards the end of the war, each side held over 5,000,000 POWs each.
- Brutality. While WF resembled more of "traditional" European war, the EF conflict showed new, unprecedented levels of brutality and inhumaty. Literally, millions of war crimes were commited by both major players. Nobody and nothing was safe from this war.

Why was it important for the US to enter World War 2?
okay, rather than give you an infuriating wall of text, here's a simple answer.well for one, there are many people who consider the US-Japan conflict an entirely separate war called the Pacific War.While the United States did help the European front on the Western front, it was in the Eastern front where the war was won: the Soviets, after being pushed to their capital, pushed back all the way to Berlin and took it over, effectively winning the most destructive war in humanity. so if the US hadn't entered, the war would still have been won, but Britain would have had a harder time on the Western Front.
Did music have an impact on the cold war?
This is only my contemplation and is in no way fully correct. Western Europe and the U.S. were heavily influenced by music during the Cold War. On the other hand, the people of Eastern Europe looked on in envy. As the free world danced to the songs of The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and many other popular bands, Eastern Europe was largely devoid of meaningful music because powerful Russia did not allow Western culture to pervade into Eastern Europe. It can be safely said that because of the free and inspring music of Western Europe, the Soviets became increasingly paranoid that some of the communist countries may see that the grass is greener on the other side and convert to democracy.

What major battles in World War 1 were pivotal for the outcome of the war?
I believe the most pivotal battle in the Western Front must be the Battle of the Marne in August 1914. The defeat of the German armies by the British Expeditionary Force and the French army in France stopped the only way to bring the war to a quick conclusion. After this the Central Powers and the Allies settled in for a long fight in the trenches, one that would eventually crush German spirits and end the war. In the Eastern Front it was the Battle of Tannenburg (Tannenberg), in which the Germans annihilated a Russian army under Samsonov. This defeat totally crushed Russian spirits that the war could be won easily, paving the way for the mentality that would eventually bring Lenin to Russia. In the final days of the War the British breakout at Passchendale (Ypres) might be considered important, as the strongest German defence - on that held out for 3 years and had cost the allies about a milliom lives - on the Western front fell in 1917. This defeat might have lowered the already low German morale, forcing them to surrender a year later.

In what way did the emperors of eastern roman empire differ from the emperors of the western roman empire?
There was no such thing as an eastern Roman Empire and a western Roman empire. It was a Roman empire. Period. Historians are the only ones who denote eastern and western, but they do this for clarity when speaking about certain sections or aspects of ancient Rome. Now, as for comparison between the eastern and western sections of the empire, the eastcrn section was wealthier than the western and consequently lasted longer than the western section and the eastern section was more heavily influenced by the Greek culture than the western part.
