Why Was There Stalemate On The Western Front?
Akopọ
In August 1914 both sides expected a short, fast-moving war that would be over by Christmas. Germany even had a detailed plan, the Schlieffen Plan, designed to knock France out in six weeks. Yet by the end of the year the armies had dug two lines of trenches that snaked from the Belgian coast to the Swiss border, and neither side could move. For nearly four years men lived, fought and died in this narrow strip of mud. How did a war of movement turn into a deadlock that swallowed a generation?
This lesson explains why the Schlieffen Plan failed, how a defensive war of trenches took hold by the end of 1914, and what it was like to live and fight there. It weighs up the new weapons that made attacking so deadly and looks at the two great battles of 1916, Verdun and the Somme, that came to stand for the whole grim logic of attrition. By the end you will be able to argue, not just describe, why the Western Front became stuck.
