What German attack did Germany have on France to cause ''bleed the french dry''?

The German strategy to "bleed the French dry" refers to the attrition tactics employed during World War I, particularly in the Battle of Verdun in 1916. This battle aimed to inflict heavy casualties on French forces, leading to a war of exhaustion. The Germans believed that by targeting a symbolically significant location, they could demoralize the French army and deplete their resources over time, ultimately forcing France to capitulate. The prolonged conflict at Verdun resulted in massive losses on both sides but ultimately did not achieve its intended strategic goal.

What is the meaning of 'bleed France white'?

In World War I, the Germans used the tactic of attrition in order to eliminate France from the war. Attrition is the basic concept of fighting your enemy to wear down their forces until they have no more soldiers left. To bleed France white was the act of killing enough French soldiers (blood=red) so that France would have no choice to surrender (surrender=white), referring to the act of bleeding a body until it turned white from blood loss.

Do you bleed from the mouth during a heart attack?

Not from the heart attack itself. In a heart attack, the heart is deprived of oxygen from the blockage of a coronary artery. This does not usually cause bleeding, but it does cause the death of the muscle cells if they don't get oxygen.

What country suffered the most economically physically and emotionally as a result of world war 1?

Germany did, thats partially why they went to war again and started WW2, to get their country an pride back ^sorry but I dont agree with this puerile answer, the very fact that Germany was the aggressor somewhat negates their claim as 'victim' . I would argue that France suffered more than anyone during ww1 , most of the battles were fought on French soil. This led to whole swathes of the country being 'demolished' . Also, part of the German battle plan was to 'bleed France white' of men. So France suffered the most
