This was the Western Front. The Western Front is known as being the "main theatre of war" during World War I. This front contained miles of land, including land from Belgium and France. During the war, in 1914, Germany ended up storming the Western Front and tried to take over Belgium, this then allowed them to take over very important parts of France which gave them control. There was lots of new techniques used on the Western Front, including lots of trench war, gases, and military vehicles. Germany could not handle Allied troops which ultimately lead to their downfall.
The trench system on the Western Front in World War I—fixed from the winter of 1914 to the spring of 1918—eventually stretched from the North Sea coast of Belgium southward through France, with a bulge outwards to contain the much-contested Ypres salient. Running in front of such French towns as Soissons, Reims, Verdun, St. Mihiel and Nancy, the system finally reached its southernmost point in Alsace, at the Swiss border. In total the trenches built during World War I, laid end-to-end, would stretch some 35,000 miles—12,000 of those miles occupied by the Allies, and the rest by the Central Powers.
