Major Battles of WWI Battles of the Marne 1914 – German army advanced through Belgium and northern France, caused panic in the French army who rushed from Paris to halt the attack, Germans were stopped 1918 – Germans pushing again, the four years in between cost hundreds of thousands of lives and the armies were still exactly where they were when they started

Battles of Ypres 1914 – Attempt by the British to stop the advances of the Germans 1915 – First use of poison gas 1917 – Over-ambitious aims, bad weather, and bad judgments led to horrific losses, total casualties for this one battle reached over 250,000

Battle of Somme “Big Push” attack across river, some by British. Huge failure. Soldiers did not follow orders, artillery bombardment did not dislodge German wire or destroy machine- gun posts. One of the biggest slaughters in military history.

Battle of Cambrai British launched the first full-scale offensive with the tank. 476 tanks charged towards German lines. Success surprised both sides and British were not prepared for the victory.

Casualties Great Britain 1,000,000 France 1,300,000 Russia 1,700,000 Germany and allies 3,500,000 America 50,000 At least 5,500 people died per day Real footage of a German U-boat attack,

Explaining the Battle for Belleau Wood is a challenge. The 26 day long action was simply a confused mess tactically. None of the participants ever quite knew where they, the front line, or the enemy were inside that mile- square dark forest. The Battle of Belleau Wood was won by American forces. It was fought predominantly by US Marines and the battle stopped the German offensive and began a counterattack in the area. Fighting in the forest was fierce, with the Marines clearing the wood six times before it was finally secured.

THE DOUGHBOY Doughboy is an outdated slang term for an American infantrymen, best known from its use in World War I, although it potentially dates back to the Mexican- American War of
