WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -As the summer of 1914 turned to fall, the war turned into a long and bloody stalemate, or deadlock, along the battlefields of France. This deadlocked region in northern France became known as the WESTERN FRONT.

Detailed explanation-2: -The conventional explanation for why the Western Front in World War I settled into a stalemate is that the power of defensive weapons was stronger than the offensive methods employed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Drawn deep into the vastness of Russia, Napoleon’s army caught up with Marshal Kutusov’s army 80 miles from Moscow. At the Battle of Borodino the stakes were enormous.

Detailed explanation-4: -Instead of trench warfare and stalemate, however, the Eastern Front was the war everyone expected: it featured mass armies making sweeping movements, breakthroughs leading to tremendous advances, and innovation in both tactics and technology.
