The German advance on the Western Front was significantly halted by the First Battle of the Marne in September 1914, where Allied forces successfully countered the German offensive, leading to a stalemate and trench warfare. Additionally, the Battle of Verdun in 1916 and the Battle of the Somme later that year further exhausted German resources and morale, preventing any significant breakthroughs. The combined efforts of these battles ultimately shifted the momentum towards the Allies and established a prolonged deadlock on the Western Front.
Marne
The first Battle of the Marne.
In 1914, the German attack on the Western Front followed the Schlieffen Plan, which aimed for a rapid victory over France before turning to confront Russia. The Germans invaded Belgium on August 4, bypassing French defenses, and then advanced southward towards Paris through northern France. Key battles such as the Battle of the Marne in September halted this advance, leading to a protracted stalemate and trench warfare that characterized much of the Western Front.
There were two of them, both won by the Allies. In the battle of July, 1942 the German advance on Egypt was halted; the battle of November, 1942 started the retreat of the Germans that would only end in Tunesia where they finally surrendered.
In 1914, the primary battles fought between France and Germany during World War I included the First Battle of the Marne and the Battle of the Aisne. The First Battle of the Marne, occurring from September 6 to 12, marked a significant turning point as French and British forces halted the German advance towards Paris. Following this, the Battle of the Aisne took place from September 13 to October 2, resulting in trench warfare that characterized much of the Western Front. These battles set the stage for a prolonged and grueling conflict.
