About this listen

Many know this battle as "The Miracle of the Marne." And for the French and British armies in September 1914, it's easy to see why... The German army failed to secure a decisive victory here and, worse, had its powerful advance completely halted when Franco-British forces took a stand at the Marne River outside Paris.

In this episode, we study:

  • Germany's mistakes leading up to the battle
  • how it turned the tide of war
  • and what the First Battle of the Marne meant for the next four years of fighting on the Western Front
