What is the route of the German attack on the western front in 1914?

In 1914, the German attack on the Western Front followed the Schlieffen Plan, which aimed for a rapid victory over France before turning to confront Russia. The Germans invaded Belgium on August 4, bypassing French defenses, and then advanced southward towards Paris through northern France. Key battles such as the Battle of the Marne in September halted this advance, leading to a protracted stalemate and trench warfare that characterized much of the Western Front.


Why was the first battle of Marna considered so significant?

Because before the battle the Germans were very close to Paris (in it's outskirts). To be a little contra-factual if the Germans would have won, they would have probably entered Paris and a general collapse of the French Republic and its army would bring to total collapse of of the western front. Considering that the English did not have the capability to face the Germans alone the war in the West would has been won by the Central Powers. The First Battle of Marne also known as the miracle of Marne halted the impetuous German advance and assured, in a way, the Anttante victory for years later.


How far did Germans advance in ww1?

During World War I, German forces advanced significantly at the beginning of the war, notably through Belgium and into northeastern France, reaching the outskirts of Paris by September 1914. However, the advance was halted at the First Battle of the Marne, leading to a stalemate and the establishment of trench warfare on the Western Front. Over the course of the war, while Germany achieved some territorial gains on the Eastern Front, they ultimately faced significant setbacks, culminating in a retreat and surrender in 1918. By the end of the war, much of the territory initially gained was lost, and Germany was forced to withdraw to its pre-war borders.
