The Canadians took 7 miles of land which the germans soon won back there was no real gain in the end Germans won by taking a total of 1000 yards
It was an important battle. At the Second Battle of Ypres, the gas attack was effective, and that's why there are gas bombs today. =) During WW1 there were 3 main battles fought at Ypres. It was a strategic strong point known as the Yrpes Salient. This means that it stuck out into the German's front line. This was a highly important position to defend for the British/Allied forces and one that the Germans wanted. In the first battle of Ypres, the British captured the town and reoccupied the lost ground. In the 2nd battle from April 22 to May 25, 1915, the Germans made a great attack using gas for the first time in an attempt to retake Ypres. The final battle of Ypres, better known as Passchendale, took place between the 21st of July and the 6th of November, 1917. The 36th Ulstur Division lost many men here and fought with outstanding bravery along with all commonwealth troops. The Meningate stands as a mounument to all the soldiers who died in battle. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Passchendaele was just near Ypres. And so is Wikipedia :P Also I just spellchecked that whole paragraph above.
In the early morning of April 6th, 1862, the rebels sprang on Grant's sleepy camp. This began the Battle of Shiloh, in which the Union Army gained greater control of the Mississippi River Valley. During the bloody two day battle, each side (Union, and Confederate) each gained and lost land...
Germany lost a lot of land and rights and adjacent countries gained land and some new countries gained independence. Germany lost a lot of people and I dont think anyone gained people.
Answer 89 BattlesAccording to "A Dictionary of Battles 1816-1976(1977) there were 89 battles in the First World War, all fronts included, though this does not include every skirmish or limited action that could not be considered a general "battle", perse. These engagements include, for instance, the Isonzo campaign in Italy that involved over ten separate phases over three years, as well as the East African campaign whereby the British tried desperately to hunt down the German Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck from the very beginning of the war until the German surrender. Obviously, this involved many small and fierce engagements, but it is one entry in this dictionary. Nonetheless, I would answer 89 based on this reference material.i went on a website recently, and gave up counting at 121 battles.
A good topic of discussion would be the importance of the battle of the somme in 1916 for the allied victory. Many british soldiers died and very little land was gained. However a lot of historians claim that without the battle of the somme, Britain would not have won the war.
