On the Western Front during World War I, the largest area conquered by either side was the German advance during the initial phases of the war in 1914. They pushed into Belgium and northeastern France, capturing significant territory, including cities like Brussels and Lille. At its peak, this advance covered approximately 200 miles from the German border to the outskirts of Paris. However, this was later reversed during battles such as the Marne, leading to trench warfare that characterized much of the conflict.
