Battle of the Marne (1914) –The French stopped the German assault that began in a desperate battle in September 1914. The stalemate that resulted created the trench warfare of the Western Front.
The Schlieffen Plan is dead; it now became a two-front war
Battle of Verdum (1916) –From Feb-December, Germany attempted to break through French lines at Verdum in a battle that was designed to cause France to “give up” due to extreme cost.
Results: Gr advance four miles; British five miles—it’s obvious the war WILL NOT be “quick” or “decisive”
