THE WESTERN FRONT OF WORLD WAR I
World War I was a global conflict that was fought on several fronts. This was due to the failure of the German plan of attack (Schlieffen Plan) at the beginning of World War I, which forced Germany to fight a two-front war against the Allied powers. The Western Front was the major scene of fighting between Germany and the Allied powers of the French and British.
The Western Front was characterized primarily by the trench warfare that occurred along the front. The maze of trenches would lead to a stalemate between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers and would involve some of the deadliest battles to occur in all of World War I. The following is an overview of some of the key battles of World War I on the Western Front.
