Where was the main part of World War 1 fought?

Answer 1

I would say mostly in France. France was practically in ruins after the Germans left, and the Germans' main goal (Schiefflen Plan) was to hold off Russia (Not hard since they were also fighting a civil war) long enough to destroy France. The Germans fought until they were about 50 miles from Paris, then they were defeated in the Second Battle of the Marne (turning point for WWI actually).

The war was fought in many places, indeed, but I would think France was the main battleground. -K

WWI was fought in many places, including African colonies, Sinai-Palestine, France, Belgium, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey (then the Ottoman Empire) and Samoa (in the Pacific, then a German colony).

World War One was fought as trench warfare the trenches stretched right across the German fronts. from belgium down to Switzerland and across the eastern front. these trenches were such good defensive posts that a 4 year stalemate broke out on the western front this ultimately was where the war was won in 1918.

in summary, most of the fighting took place around the borders of the central powers in Europe

Answer 2

Mainly in France. The Western Front in particular. Belgium was the first country to be invaded by Germany, in an attempt to get to France, this was all part of the "schlieffen Plan".
