1. first battle of ypres

   The First Battle of Ypres was a battle during World War I that took place around the Belgian city of Ypres between 19 October and 22 November, 1914. It was a series of engagements between the Allies and the German Empire. The battle, mainly fought by British, French, and German forces, marked the end of the mobile warfare on the Western Front and initiated trench warfare, which would dominate the rest of the war. The heavy casualties resulted in the war becoming a static conflict of attrition for the next four years. It's known as the First Battle of Ypres because there were three major battles that took place around Ypres during WWI.

1. First Battle of Ypres

   The First Battle of Ypres, also called the First Battle of Flanders, was a First World War battle fought for the strategic town of Ypres in western Belgium in October and November 1914. The German and Western Allied attempts to secure the town from enemy occupation included a series of further battles in and around the West Flanders Belgian municipality. The strategy of both the Allied and German armies is not entirely clear. The accepted and mainstream reasoning for the Ypres battle was the British desire to secure the English Channel ports and the British Army's supply lines; Ypres was the last major obstacle to the German advance on Boulogne-sur-Mer and Calais. The French strategy revolved around a desire to prevent German forces from outflanking the Allied front from the north. This was the last major German option, after their defeats at the First Battle of the Aisne and First Battle of the Marne. The Ypres campaign became the culmination point of the Race to the Sea. The opposing armies both engaged in offensive operations until the major German offensive occurred in mid-October, which forced the Allies onto the strategic defensive and limited to counter-attacks.
