Question

What countries are located along the Western Front? The Eastern Front?

Answer 1

Hi,

Though central and allied powers vied for victory during WWI, and undertook what was perceived to be strategic battle plans, the involved parties made few gains. In fact, WWI was initially intended to be a short war, but the failure of certain military strategies and trench warfare led to a deadlock that would only come to an end in 1918.

In this lesson, students will examine this stalemate and the failed efforts to break it.
