The West Front, between end 1914 to mid-1918, it is 2-3 millions of deaths in war zone of less than 100000 square kilometers. Verdun in 1916, it is more than 600000 deaths for finally no gain with a battlefield of less than 500 square kilometers!
Wrong : - No Italians troops - The Front line is not well represented - The British and Americans were mostly no there at the location shown at this time. The Americans were more at the South. - The Second Battle of the Marne lasted from 15/07/1918 to 06/08/1918 and not only three days. What is showns there is the Third Battle of Champaign, that is one of the battle that occured during the Second Battle of the Marne. - Casualties : 45,000 French during these three days, and 8,000 or 9,000 for both the Americans and the Italians.
@@ZDagenaisquebecnationaliste No, the only reason the 30 days offensive occurred, was that the Germans knew that was their only way they could possibly win. Had the United States not been involved, 2 million German troops would have been moved to the western front, and likely would’ve beaten France. Upon this, Italy and Britain would likely go for peace. Britain might continue fighting, but as long as the Germans didn’t do something stupid, the central powers would’ve won for sure.
This was one of the last offensives on the western front attempted by the Germans, before they surrendered to the Allies (the Entente), a couple of months later.
If if makes you feel better, not all of these casualties were deaths. Casualties included killed, wounded, missing, and captured. So most of the casualties came back home.
@@ra9651incorrect, it was won by the British, Italians, and Americans as well. They all fought on their respective fronts. It was a (Entente) 4v3 (Central Powers) for the entire war.
