Description
The Great War on the Western Front 1914 - 1918 by Mike Lepine The start of the First World War on July 28th, 1914, marked the beginning of a truly global conflict that would change the course of world history. The war quickly became a stalemate, with both sides anticipating a swift victory but instead facing a brutal and devastating conflict. The Western Front, stretching from the English Channel to the Swiss border, was the site of some of the war's most significant battles, including the Battle of the Marne, the Battle of Ypres, and the Battle of the Somme. This illustrated book examines the war in detail, exploring the reasons behind its outbreak and the development of new technologies and tactics that shaped the conflict, including trench warfare, gas, tanks, aircraft, and submarines.
