Ep4: First Battle of the Marne and Ypres: Allies Strike Back, Race to the Sea and Trench Warfare

The First Battle of the Marne was a battle fought between the Allied forces and Germans during the first world war from 6 to 12 September 1914. It resulted in an Allied victory against the German armies in the west. The battle was the culmination of the Retreat from Mons and pursuit of the Franco–British armies which followed the Battle of the Frontiers in August and reached the eastern outskirts of Paris. After the Battle of the Marne, both sides commenced reciprocal operations to envelop the northern flank of their opponent, in what became known as the Race to the Sea which culminated in the First Battle of Ypres. The first battle of Ypres took place between the Allied forces and German army in the town of Ypres in Belgium in November 1914. This battle also resulted in the Allied victory. In this video, I discuss the first battle of the Marne and the battle of Ypres that occurred in the initial months of the first world war. I also discuss the significance of the taxis of the Marne on French morale during World War 1.
