À propos de cet audio
The Battle of the Marne, a pivotal conflict of World War I, took place from September 6 to September 12, 1914, near the Marne River in Northeastern France. As the German forces rapidly advanced toward Paris in the early stages of the war, the French and British armies, under the leadership of General Joseph Joffre, confronted them in a determined defense.
The battle marked a turning point in the war, as the Allies successfully halted the German offensive and initiated a counteroffensive that pushed the Germans back. Employing a combination of defensive trench warfare and mobile cavalry maneuvers, the Allied forces demonstrated resilience and adaptability.
The strategic importance of the Battle of the Marne lies in the fact that it prevented the capture of Paris, disrupted the German Schlieffen Plan, and ultimately led to a prolonged stalemate on the Western Front. The battle highlighted the significance of entrenched positions and set the stage for the protracted nature of the conflict. The Battle of the Marne remains a symbol of the resolve and determination exhibited by the Allied forces in the face of overwhelming odds.
