In 1915, the Allied forces that failed to capture the ridge were primarily the British and ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) troops during the Gallipoli Campaign. The campaign aimed to secure a sea route to Russia and capture the Dardanelles but faced strong Ottoman resistance and challenging terrain. The failure to capture key positions, including the heights of Gallipoli, ultimately led to significant Allied losses and a withdrawal from the peninsula by early 1916.
At the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917, four Canadian divisions participated: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. This marked the first time all four divisions fought together as a unified force, contributing to the significant Canadian victory at the ridge. Their coordinated efforts and innovative tactics were pivotal in overcoming the challenging German defenses.
During World War I, the Canadian Army grew significantly from its initial size. By the end of the war in 1918, approximately 620,000 Canadians had enlisted, with about 420,000 serving overseas. The Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) was established to fight alongside the Allied forces, and Canada’s military contributions played a crucial role in several key battles, including Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele.
At Vimy Ridge, Canadian forces employed a combination of meticulous preparation, innovative tactics, and coordinated assaults. They conducted extensive reconnaissance and utilized detailed maps to plan their attack, along with the use of creeping barrages that provided artillery support just ahead of advancing infantry. The Canadians also emphasized the importance of unity among different military units, ensuring effective communication and cooperation. This strategic approach, along with the element of surprise, contributed to their successful capture of the ridge in April 1917.
Ruby Ridge happened on 1992-08-21.
Vimy is in France. It is north of Arras about 190 km north of Paris.
Ridge push is a gravitation force that causes a plate to move away from the crest of an ocean ridge, and into a subduction zone.
yes its and constuctive force
Ridge push is a geological concept where the force of gravity causes oceanic lithosphere to move downhill from a mid-ocean ridge, pushing tectonic plates away from the ridge. This process contributes to plate motion along with other forces like slab pull and mantle convection.
Ridge push is a gravitation force that causes a plate to move away from the crest of an ocean ridge, and into a subduction zone. The Slab pull force is a tectonic plate force due to subduction. The difference is the force of motion.
yes is a constructive force
from the underwater ridge that creates force and as the waves are building up from a far they eventually hit that ridge and become asskickers :)

mid ocean ridge
a destrutive force
I am doing a project on Vimy Ridge right now, and I believe it was important to the British and French because Vimy Ridge was a strong defensive point for the Germans. And with the capture it exposed German territory and put them on their heels Hope that helps,
ridge push
Vimy Ridge was a defining moment in Canadian history because they managed to prove their worth by taking the ridge of high strategical value which allied forces had failed to do time and time again. The allied forced suffered a loss of 100,000 people over that ridge without ever capturing it. They proved their worth as a country and Ally, and not as a colony under British control. Vimy ridge was also the first time ever the members of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces (CEF) were allowed to fight together. All four units of the Canadian corps fought together under a Canadian general (Arthur Currie). Though they did the impossible by capturing the ridge through careful strategic planning and impeccable timing there were great losses. There were 10, 602 casualties and 3, 600 of them would go on to die. Because of Vimy Ridge and Canadian participation Prime Minister Robert Borden was allowed to sign the treaty of Versailles on behalf of Canada not Britain signing for Canada This was truly when Canada was seen as a country.
