None. The German Army occupied Paris.
The Battle of the Marne, fought from September 6 to 12, 1914, was the critical engagement that halted the German advance towards Paris during World War I. Allied forces, primarily French and British, launched a counteroffensive that successfully pushed back the German army, leading to a stalemate and the establishment of trench warfare on the Western Front. This battle marked a significant turning point in the war, as it prevented the Germans from capturing the French capital and shifted the dynamics of the conflict.
In 1914, during the First World War, German forces advanced towards Paris as part of the Schlieffen Plan. They reached the outskirts of the city, coming within about 30 miles (48 kilometers) of Paris by early September. However, their advance was halted during the First Battle of the Marne, which took place from September 6 to 12, 1914, leading to a significant Allied counteroffensive that pushed the Germans back and ultimately resulted in a stalemate on the Western Front.
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.

The Marne
The German defeat at the Second Battle of the Marne (July-August 1918) stopped the last major German counter-offensive of World War I. It was quickly followed by a second Allied success at the Battle of Amiens (August 9-12, 1918), beginning the climactic Hundred Days Offensive.
helped save Paris by stopping the German advance.
At their furthest advance westward during World War II, German forces reached a point approximately 100 miles from Paris. This occurred in 1940 during the Battle of France, when the German army quickly overran much of the country. The rapid advance and strategic maneuvers allowed them to encircle and capture Paris shortly thereafter.
