About this listen

While the British and French armies may have halted their German pursuers at the Battle of the Marne, their counterstrike along the Aisne River doesn't go as planned... in this episode we look at the emergence of trench warfare after both sides fail to dislodge each other from their defensive positions outside Paris.

You learn about:

  • the concept of positional warfare
  • the "race" (that wasn't a race) to the sea
  • the early days of trench warfare on the Western Front
