The First Battle of Mame
It can easily be argued that the First Battle of the Marne was the single-most important event of World War I for one simple reason: had the Allied forces not achieved a victory against their German opponents in this September 1914 battle, the war would have likely ended in a quick German victory. Success here did not guarantee ultimate victory for the Triple Alliance, nor did it preclude a drawn-out conflict. It did, however, ensure that there would be no easy victory for the Central Powers, which fact proved to be a decisive advantage for the Alliance.

quick - schnell
Germany did not collapse in the First World War. Germany asked for an armistice as soon as it was clear to a few key German leaders that they would lose the war. This happened before the German population and many in the military knew that they were losing. The swing from victory to defeat was relatively quick (July-November 1918). The German leaders prevented a collapse and damage to Germany itself by ending the war quickly. Unfortunately the German leaders never explained this information to the German people, which lead to the post-war myth spread by Adolf Hitler & others that Germany was not defeated but betrayed.
It called for a quick victory over France.
Raised morale, it was a quick victory.
