What was the significance of the battle of the marne?
During World War I, the Battle of the Marne was significant in defining what kind of war these countries were actually fighting. Germany had been following something known as the "Schlieffen Plan", which called for attacking France first to secure a victory that would neutralize the Western Front and free the German army to fight Russia in the East. Supposedly, the France would expect an attack through Alsace-Lorraine, but the Germans would instead invade through Belgium and sweep down through France to fight a battle in Paris. The Germans were on track until they were stopped by the Britain and France just thirty miles outside of Paris at the Marne River. Britain and France launched a successful counteroffensive and the German line retreated to the Aisne River, destroying the Schlieffen Plan. Unable to advance after the Marne, the armies tried racing one another to the sea. Germany set up a defensive position that the Allies could not break. Along this immovable front (stretching over 400 miles from Switzerland to the English Channel), the Great Powers began what we know today as "trench warfare". This is what many historians call the real start of the war. The Marne, as a battle alone, upended all of Europe's expectations of the war and demolished hopes that it would finish quickly. The war of movement had stopped. A sort of stalemate had been created after the Battle of the Marne. Thus, the significance of the Battle of the Marne was its defining the World War as not simply a traditional, quick-to-end war, but as one that could potentially turn out long, costly, and deadly.

Who fought at the Battle of Marne?
In the Battle of the Marne, the German troops tried to take Paris, France ASAP. The First Battle of Marne started in 1914 and ended as a stalemate. The Second Battle of the Marne was on 1918 which also ended as a stalemate. The first set of the two was the first major battle in World War I. The French used "trench warfare" to try and slow the Russian advancement to Paris. There were mines, barbed wire, machine guns, and massive troops protecting the trenches. Trench Warfare was something that was very miserable. This type of warfare had bad living conditions for people who lived in it. Troops were stationed and kept there. Food was scarce, water was bad, and everyone was dirty. Many died from the harsh conditions of Trench Warfare.
