The G'arbiy front asosiy edi urush teatri davomida Birinchi jahon urushi. 1914 yil avgustda urush boshlanganidan so'ng, Germaniya armiyasi bosqini bilan G'arbiy frontni ochdi Lyuksemburg va Belgiya, keyin muhim sanoat mintaqalari ustidan harbiy nazoratni qo'lga kiritish Frantsiya. Germaniya avansi bilan to'xtatildi Marna jangi. Keyingi Dengizga poyga, Ikkala tomon ham mustahkam bir qator bo'ylab qazilgan xandaklar, dan cho'zilgan Shimoliy dengiz uchun Shveytsariya Frantsiya bilan chegaradosh, bu 1917 yil boshidan va 1918 yilgacha bo'lgan davrdan tashqari ozgina o'zgargan.

1915 yildan 1917 yilgacha bu erda bir nechta tajovuzlar bo'lgan old. Hujumlar juda ko'p ishlatilgan artilleriya bombardimon va ommaviy piyoda askarlar avanslar. O'rindiqlar, avtomat qurollari, tikanli sim va artilleriya hujumlar va qarshi hujumlar paytida bir necha bor jiddiy yo'qotishlarni keltirib chiqardi va sezilarli yutuqlarga erishilmadi. Ushbu jinoyatlar orasida eng qimmatga tushganlar orasida Verdun jangi, 1916 yilda, jami 700,000 talofatlar bilan (taxmin qilingan), Somme jangi, shuningdek, 1916 yilda, milliondan ortiq talofatlar bilan (taxmin qilingan) va Passchendaele jangi (Uchinchi Ypres jangi), 1917 yilda, 487 ming kishining talofati bilan (taxmin qilingan).[10][11]

G'arbiy frontda xandaq urushining boshi berk ko'chadan chiqish uchun ikkala tomon ham harakat qilishdi yangi harbiy texnologiya, shu jumladan zaharli gaz, samolyot va tanklar. Yaxshi taktikalarning qabul qilinishi va g'arbdagi qo'shinlarning kumulyativ zaiflashishi 1918 yilda harakatchanlikning qaytishiga olib keldi. Spring Offensive 1918 yilgi tomonidan Brest-Litovsk shartnomasi Rossiya va Ruminiyaga qarshi Markaziy kuchlarning urushini tugatdi Sharqiy front. Qisqa, zich foydalanish "bo'ron" bombardimonlari va infiltratsiya taktikasi, nemis qo'shinlari g'arbga qariyb 100 kilometr (60 milya) siljishdi, bu 1914 yildan beri har ikki tomonning eng chuqur oldinga siljishi, ammo natija noaniq edi.

Ning to'xtovsiz oldinga siljishi Ittifoqdosh davomida qo'shinlar Yuz kunlik tajovuz 1918 yil nemis qo'shinlarining to'satdan qulashiga sabab bo'ldi va nemis qo'mondonlarini mag'lubiyat muqarrar ekanligiga ishontirdi. Germaniya hukumati 1918 yil 11-noyabrdagi sulh va tinchlik shartlari Versal shartnomasi 1919 yilda.

G'arbiy front Evropadagi eng qudratli harbiy kuchlar, Germaniya va Frantsiya armiyalari uchrashgan va Birinchi Jahon urushi qaror qilingan joy edi.[12] Urush boshlanganda Germaniya armiyasi g'arbda va sharqda bitta dala armiyasiga ega bo'lib, Shliffen rejasi, neytral Belgiya orqali tez o'tib, umumiy chegara bo'ylab frantsuz mudofaasini chetlab o'tib, so'ng Fransiyaga hujum qilish uchun janubga burilib, atrofni o'rab olishga harakat qildi. Frantsiya armiyasi va uni Germaniya chegarasida ushlang.[13] Belgiya betarafligi Buyuk Britaniya tomonidan kafolatlangan edi London shartnomasi, 1839 yil; bu Buyuk Britaniyaning 4 avgust kuni yarim tunda ultimatum tugashi bilan urushga qo'shilishiga sabab bo'ldi. Nemis generallari boshchiligidagi qo'shinlar Aleksandr fon Klak va Karl fon Budov 1914 yil 4-avgustda Belgiyaga hujum qildi. Lyuksemburg 2 avgust kuni qarshiliksiz ishg'ol qilingan edi. Belgiyadagi birinchi jang Liège qamal qilinishi, 5-16 avgust kunlari davom etdi. Liej yaxshi mustahkamlangan va Byulov boshchiligidagi nemis armiyasini qarshilik darajasi bilan hayratga solgan. Nemis og'ir artilleriyasi bir necha kun ichida asosiy qal'alarni buzishga muvaffaq bo'ldi.[14] Liege qulaganidan so'ng, Belgiya dala armiyasining aksariyati orqaga chekindi ga Antverpen garnizonini tark etish Namur izolyatsiya qilingan, Belgiya poytaxti bilan, Bryussel, 20 avgustda nemislar qo'liga tushdi. Nemis armiyasi Antverpenni chetlab o'tgan bo'lsa-da, bu ularning qanotlari uchun xavf bo'lib qoldi. Boshqa qamal Taxminan 20-23 avgust kunlari davom etgan Namurda.[15]

Frantsuzlar chegarada beshta qo'shinni joylashtirdilar. Frantsuzlar XVII reja qo'lga olish uchun mo'ljallangan edi Elzas-Lotaringiya.[16] 7 avgustda VII korpus Myulxa va Kolmarni egallab olish uchun Elzasga hujum qildi. Asosiy hujum 14 avgust kuni Lotaringiyadagi Sarrebourg-Morhanj tomon birinchi va ikkinchi qo'shinlar hujumi bilan boshlandi.[17] Shlieffen rejasiga muvofiq, nemislar frantsuzlarga katta yo'qotishlarni keltirib, asta-sekin chekinishdi. Frantsiyaning Uchinchi va To'rtinchi armiyalari Saar daryosi Saarburgni egallab olishga urinib, Briey va Neufchatoga hujum qildi, ammo ular qaytarib olindi.[18] 7 avgust kuni frantsuz VII korpusi Mulxausni qisqa tutashuvdan keyin qo'lga oldi, ammo nemis zaxira kuchlari ularni jalb qilishdi Mulhouse jangi va frantsuzlarni orqaga chekinishga majbur qildi.[19]

Nemis armiyasi Belgiyani qamrab oldi, tinch aholini qatl etdi va qishloqlarni vayron qildi. Tinch aholiga qarshi "jamoaviy javobgarlik" ning qo'llanilishi ittifoqchilarni yanada jonlantirdi. Gazetalar Germaniya bosqini, tinch aholiga qarshi zo'ravonlik va mol-mulkni vayron qilishni qoraladi.Belgiyani zo'rlash."[20][d] Belgiya, Lyuksemburg va Ardennes, Nemislar avgust oyining oxirida Frantsiyaning shimoliy qismiga o'tdilar, u erda Frantsiya armiyasi bilan uchrashdilar Jozef Joffre, va bo'linmalar ning Britaniya ekspeditsiya kuchlari ostida Feldmarshal Ser Jon frantsuz. Deb nomlanuvchi bir qator kelishuvlar Chegaralar jangi o'z ichiga olgan Sharlerua jangi va Mons jangi. Oldingi jangda Frantsiyaning Beshinchi Armiyasi Germaniyaning 2 va 3-armiyalari tomonidan deyarli yo'q qilindi va ikkinchisi Germaniyaning oldinga o'tishini bir kunga kechiktirdi. Umumiy ittifoqchilar chekinishidan so'ng, yana to'qnashuvlarga olib keldi Le Cateau jangi, Maubeuge qamal qilinishi va Sent-Kventin jangi (shuningdek, "Gizning birinchi jangi" deb nomlanadi).[22]

Marnadagi birinchi jang

Asosiy maqola: Marnadagi birinchi jang

Nemis armiyasi Parijdan 70 km (43 milya) uzoqlikda joylashgan, ammo Marnadagi birinchi jang (6–12 sentyabr), frantsuz va ingliz qo'shinlari nemislarning Frantsiyaga yurishini tugatib, 1 va 2-armiyalar o'rtasida paydo bo'lgan bo'shliqdan foydalanib, Germaniyani chekinishga majbur qilishdi.[23] Germaniya armiyasi shimolga chekindi Aisne daryosi va kelgusi uch yil davom etishi kerak bo'lgan statik g'arbiy frontning boshlanishini o'rnatib, u erda qazishdi. Ushbu Germaniya nafaqaga chiqqanidan keyin qarama-qarshi kuchlar o'zaro o'zaro harakatlarni amalga oshirdilar Dengiz uchun poyga va tezda o'zlarining xandaq tizimlarini kengaytirdilar Shveytsariya chegarasi uchun Shimoliy dengiz.[24] Germaniya tomonidan bosib olingan hudud frantsuzlarning 64 foizini egallagan cho'yan ishlab chiqarish, Uning 24 foizi po'lat ishlab chiqarish va 40 foiz ko'mir sanoati - Frantsiya sanoatiga jiddiy zarba berish.[25]

Ustida Antanta tomoni (Germaniya ittifoqiga qarshi bo'lgan o'sha mamlakatlar), so'nggi chiziqlar frontning bir qismini himoya qiladigan har bir millatning qo'shinlari bilan band edi. Shimoldagi qirg'oqdan asosiy kuchlar Belgiya, Britaniya imperiyasi va undan keyin Frantsiyadan edi. Keyingi Yser urushi oktyabr oyida Belgiya armiyasi 35 km (22 milya) uzunlikni nazorat qildi G'arbiy Flandriya deb nomlanuvchi qirg'oq bo'ylab Yser Front, bo'ylab Yser daryo va Yperli kanali, dan Nieuwpoort ga Boesinghe.[26] Ayni paytda, Britaniya ekspeditsiya kuchlari (BEF) qanotda ko'proq markaziy pozitsiyani egallab, pozitsiyani egallab olishdi.[27]

Ipres jangi

Asosiy maqola: Ipres jangi

19 oktyabrdan 22 noyabrgacha nemis qo'shinlari 1914 yilgi so'nggi yutuqlarini amalga oshirdilar Ipres jangi, bu o'zaro qimmatga tushgan tanglik bilan yakunlandi.[28] Jangdan keyin, Erix fon Falkenxayn urushda Germaniyani sof harbiy yo'l bilan yutish endi mumkin emas deb qaror qildi va 1914 yil 18-noyabrda u diplomatik echim topishga chaqirdi. Kantsler, Theobald von Betman-Xolweg; Generalfeldmarschall Pol fon Xindenburg, buyruq Ober Ost (Sharqiy front yuqori qo'mondonligi); va uning o'rinbosari, Erix Lyudendorff, g'alabani hal qiluvchi janglar orqali erishish mumkinligiga ishonishda davom etdi. Polshadagi Lodz hujumi paytida (11-25 noyabr), Falkenxayn ruslar tinchlik avtoulovlariga moslashtiriladi deb umid qilar edi. Betman-Hollveg bilan bo'lgan munozaralarida Falkenxayn Germaniya va Rossiyani hech qanday erimaydigan ziddiyatga ega emas deb hisobladi va Germaniyaning haqiqiy dushmanlari Frantsiya va Angliya edi. Faqatgina bir nechta hududlarni qo'shib oladigan tinchlik, Frantsiya bilan ham mumkin edi va Rossiya va Frantsiya urushdan muzokaralar olib borgan holda, Buyuk Britaniyaga e'tiborini qaratishi va Evropaning mablag'lari bilan uzoq urush olib borishi mumkin edi. Xindenburg va Ludendorff Rossiyani ketma-ket janglar bilan mag'lubiyatga uchratishi mumkin deb hisoblashda davom etdilar, bu kumulyativ ravishda hal qiluvchi ta'sirga ega bo'ladi, shundan so'ng Germaniya Frantsiya va Britaniyani tugatishi mumkin.[29]

Xandaq urushi

Asosiy maqola: Xandaq urushi

1914 yilda xandaq urushi yangi bo'lmasa-da, tezda ancha yaxshilandi va juda yuqori darajadagi mudofaani ta'minladi. Ikki taniqli tarixchining fikriga ko'ra:

Xandaklar temir, beton va tikanli simlar bilan har qachongidan ham uzunroq, chuqurroq va yaxshiroq himoya qilingan. Ular qal'alar zanjirlariga qaraganda ancha kuchli va samaraliroq edilar, chunki ular uzluksiz tarmoq hosil qildilar, ba'zan to'rt yoki beshta parallel chiziqlar o'zaro bog'lanishlar bilan bog'langan. Ular er yuzidan ancha pastda, eng og'ir artilleriya yeta olmaydigan joyda qazilgan edi .... Eski manevralar bilan olib borilgan katta janglar gap bo'lishi mumkin emas edi. Dushmanni faqat bombardimon qilish, yiqitish va hujum qilish bilan silkitib qo'yish mumkin edi va bunday operatsiyalar ulkan miqyosda olib borilishi kerak edi. Darhaqiqat, agar nemislar o'zlarining boyliklarini muvaffaqiyatsiz hujumlarda sarf qilmaganlarida va dengiz orqali blokirovka asta-sekin o'z ta'minotlarini to'xtatmaganlarida, Frantsiyadagi nemis chiziqlari hech qachon buzilishi mumkinmi degan savol tug'iladi. Bunday urushda biron bir general uni o'lmas holga keltiradigan zarba berolmadi; "jangovar shon-sharaf" xandaklar va bug'doylarning axloqsizlik va botqoqlariga botdi.[30]

1915

G'arbiy front xaritasi, 1915–16

Sohil va Vosges deb nomlangan xandaq chizig'idagi g'arbiy burilish edi Noyon qo'lga kiritilgan frantsuz shahri uchun eng yaqin avans nuqtasi Kompyegne. Joffrening 1915 yildagi rejasi: taniqli uni kesib tashlash uchun ikkala qanotda.[31] To'rtinchi armiya 1914 yil 20 dekabrdan 1915 yil 17 martgacha Shampanga hujum qildi, ammo frantsuzlar bir vaqtning o'zida Artoisda hujum qila olmadilar. The O'ninchi armiya shimoliy hujum kuchini tuzdi va Loos va Arras o'rtasida 16 kilometrlik (9,9 mil) old tomon Douai tekisligiga sharqqa hujum qilishi kerak edi.[32] 10 mart kuni, Artois mintaqasidagi yirik hujumning bir qismi sifatida Britaniya armiyasi bilan kurashgan Noyve Shapelle jangi Aubers Ridge-ni qo'lga kiritish uchun. Hujum old tomoni 2 mil (3,2 km) bo'ylab to'rtta bo'linish orqali amalga oshirildi. 35 daqiqagacha davom etgan kutilmagan bombardimondan oldin, dastlabki hujum tez rivojlanib bordi va qishloq to'rt soat ichida qo'lga kiritildi. Ta'minot va aloqa muammolari tufayli avans sekinlashdi. Nemislar tarbiyalangan zaxiralar va qarshi hujum, tog 'tizmini egallab olishga urinishni to'xtatish. Inglizlar ta'minotining taxminan uchdan bir qismidan foydalanganligi sababli artilleriya o'q-dorilar, General Ser Jon Frantsiya muvaffaqiyatsizlikni aybdor deb bildi o'q-dorilar etishmasligi, dastlabki muvaffaqiyatga qaramay.[33][34]

Gaz bilan urush

Asosiy maqola: Birinchi jahon urushidagi kimyoviy qurol

Barcha tomonlar imzo chekdilar 1899 va 1907 yillardagi Gaaga konvensiyalari, bu urushda kimyoviy qurol ishlatishni taqiqlagan. 1914 yilda ham frantsuzlar, ham nemislar tomonidan turli xillardan foydalanishga kichik miqyosda urinishlar bo'lgan gazlar, bu dastlabki shartnomalar tomonidan qat'iyan taqiqlanmagan, ammo ular ham samarasiz edi.[35] Birinchi marta o'limga olib keladigan usul kimyoviy qurol G'arbiy frontda Belgiya shahri yaqinida frantsuzlarga qarshi edi Ypres. Nemislar allaqachon sharqda ruslarga qarshi gaz tarqatishgan Bolimov jangi.[36]

Nemislarning frantsuzlar va inglizlar bilan tang ahvolni saqlab qolish rejalariga qaramay, Albrecht, Vyurtemberg gertsogi, komandiri 4-armiya 1914 yil noyabrda Ipresdagi birinchi jang bo'lgan Ypresda hujum qilishni rejalashtirgan Ypresning ikkinchi jangi, 1915 yil aprel, e'tiborni huquqbuzarliklardan chalg'itishga qaratilgan edi Sharqiy front va Franko-Britaniya rejalashtirishini buzish. Ikki kunlik bombardimondan keyin nemislar qo'yib yuborildi bulut 168 tonnadan (171 tonna) iborat xlorli gaz jang maydoniga. Garchi u birinchi navbatda kuchli tirnash xususiyati beruvchi bo'lsa ham asfiksiya yuqori konsentratsiyalarda yoki uzoq vaqt ta'sir qilishda. Gaz havodan og'irroq bo'lib, o'tib ketdi hech kimning erlari va frantsuz xandaqlariga tushib ketdi.[37] Yashil-sariq bulut ba'zi himoyachilarni o'ldirishni boshladi va orqa tarafdagilar qochib ketishdi vahima, Ittifoq chizig'ida himoyalanmagan 3,7 mil (6 km) bo'shliqni yaratdi. Nemislar muvaffaqiyat darajasiga tayyor emas edilar va ochilish joyidan foydalanish uchun etarli zaxiraga ega emas edilar. O'ng tarafdagi Kanada qo'shinlari chap qanotlarini orqaga tortib, nemislarning oldinga yurishini to'xtatdilar.[38] Ikki kundan keyin gaz xuruji takrorlanib, Frantsiya-Britaniya yo'nalishidan 3,1 milya (5 km) olib chiqishga sabab bo'ldi, ammo imkoniyat qo'ldan chiqarildi.[39]

Ushbu hujumning muvaffaqiyati takrorlanmas edi, chunki ittifoqchilar gaz niqoblarini va boshqalarni kiritdilar qarshi choralar. Ushbu chora-tadbirlarning muvaffaqiyatiga bir yil o'tib, 27 aprelda misol keltirilgan Xulluchdagi gaz hujumlari Ipres janubida 40 km (25 milya), bu erda 16-bo'lim (Irlandiya) Germaniyaning bir nechta gaz hujumlariga qarshi turdi.[40] Inglizlar qasos olishdi, o'zlarining xlor gazlarini ishlab chiqdilar va uni ishlatishdi Loos jangi 1915 yil sentyabrda. Shiddatli shamol va tajribasizlik inglizlarning gazdan nemislarga qaraganda ko'proq yo'qotishlariga olib keldi.[41] Frantsuzlar, inglizlar va nemis kuchlari urushning qolgan qismida gaz hujumlaridan foydalanishni kuchaytirdilar va yanada xavfli fosgen 1915 yilda gaz, keyin shafqatsiz xantal gazi 1917 yilda, u bir necha kunga cho'zilishi va sekin va og'riqli tarzda o'ldirishi mumkin edi. Qarshi choralar ham yaxshilandi va tanglik davom etdi.[42]

Havo urushi

Asosiy maqola: Birinchi jahon urushidagi aviatsiya

Havodan jang qilish uchun ixtisoslashgan samolyotlar 1915 yilda paydo bo'lgan. Samolyotlar allaqachon skautlar uchun ishlatilgan va 1 aprelda frantsuz uchuvchisi Rolan Garros birinchi bo'lib parvona pichoqlari orqali oldinga otilgan pulemyot yordamida dushman samolyotini urib tushirdi. Bunga o'qlarni burish uchun pichoqlarni qo'pol ravishda kuchaytirish orqali erishildi.[43] Bir necha haftadan so'ng Garros kuch bilan germaniyaliklar safiga tushib qoldi. Uning samolyoti qo'lga olindi va gollandiyalik muhandisga yuborildi Entoni Fokker, kim tez orada sezilarli yaxshilash ishlab chiqarilgan, the uzilish moslamasi, unda pulemyot pervanel bilan sinxronlashtiriladi, shuning uchun u pervanelning pichoqlari olov chizig'idan tashqarida bo'lganda intervalgacha otilib chiqadi. Ushbu avans tezda xizmatga kiritildi Fokker E.I (Eyndekkeryoki monoplane, Mark 1), birinchi bitta o'rindiq qiruvchi samolyotlar oqilona maksimal tezlikni samarali qurollantirish bilan birlashtirish. Maks Immelmann an-da birinchi tasdiqlangan o'ldirishni amalga oshirdi Eyndekker 1 avgustda.[44] Ikkala tomon ham urush oxiriga qadar takomillashtirilgan qurol-yarog ', dvigatel, samolyot va materiallar ishlab chiqdilar. Shuningdek, u dinga sig'inishni ochdi Ace, eng mashhur mavjudot Manfred fon Rixtofen (Qizil Baron). Mifdan farqli o'laroq, zenitga qarshi yong'in jangchilarga qaraganda ko'proq o'ldirishni talab qildi.[45]

Bahorgi tajovuzkor

Xarobalari Carency Frantsiya tomonidan qaytarib olinganidan keyin

Bahorning so'nggi Antanta hujumi bo'ldi Artoisning ikkinchi jangi, qo'lga olish uchun tajovuzkor Vimi Ridj va Douay tekisligiga ko'tariling. Frantsiya o'ninchi armiyasi 9-may kuni olti kunlik bombardimondan so'ng hujumga o'tdi va Vimi tizmasini egallab olish uchun 5 km (3 mil) oldinga o'tdi. Nemis qo'shinlari qarshi hujumga o'tib, frantsuzlarni boshlang'ich nuqtalariga qaytarishdi, chunki frantsuz zaxiralari ushlab turilgandi va hujumning muvaffaqiyati kutilmagan hol edi. Janglar 18-iyungacha davom etgan bo'lsa-da, 15-mayga qadar avans to'xtatildi.[46] May oyida Germaniya armiyasi frantsuzcha hujjatni qo'lga kiritdi La Ville-aux-Bois yangi mudofaa tizimini tavsiflovchi. Oldindan qattiq mustahkamlangan chiziqqa ishonishdan ko'ra, mudofaa bir qator eshelonlarda joylashtirilishi kerak edi. Old yo'nalish bir nechta kuchli nuqtalar va boshpana qo'riqxonasi bilan mustahkamlangan, ingichka odamlarga mo'ljallangan postlar qatori bo'ladi. Agar nishab mavjud bo'lsa, himoya qilish uchun qo'shinlar orqa tomon bo'ylab joylashtirilgan. Mudofaa bo'linish darajasida artilleriya qo'mondonligi bilan to'liq birlashtirildi. Nemis oliy qo'mondonligi a'zolari ushbu yangi sxemaga ijobiy qarashdi va keyinchalik elastiklik asosiga aylandi chuqur mudofaa Antanta hujumlariga qarshi ta'limot.[47][48]

1915 yil kuzida "Fokker Scourge "Ittifoqdosh razvedka samolyotlari deyarli osmondan haydalgani sababli, jang maydoniga ta'sir ko'rsatishni boshladi. razvedka samolyotlardan qurol-yarog'ni boshqarish va dushman istehkomlarini suratga olish uchun foydalanilgan, ammo endi ittifoqchilar nemis jangchilari tomonidan ko'r bo'lib qolishgan.[49] Biroq, Germaniyaning havo ustunligining ta'siri ularning birinchi navbatda mudofaa doktrinasi bilan pasayib ketdi, bu erda ular ittifoqdoshlar egallab turgan hududlar bilan kurashishdan ko'ra, o'z chiziqlari ustida qolishga intildilar.[50]

Kuzgi tajovuzkor

1915 yil sentyabrda Antanta ittifoqchilari frantsuzlar bilan yana bir hujum boshladi Artoisning uchinchi jangi, Ikkinchi shampan jangi Loosda inglizlar. Frantsuzlar yozda ushbu harakatga tayyorgarlik ko'rishgan edi va inglizlar hujum uchun frantsuz qo'shinlarini ozod qilish uchun frontning katta qismini nazorat qilishni o'z zimmalariga olgan edilar. Yordamida ehtiyotkorlik bilan nishonga olingan bombardimon havodan suratga olish,[51] 22 sentyabrda boshlandi. Asosiy frantsuz hujumi 25-sentabrda boshlangan va dastlab simlarning tutashgan joylari va avtomat tirgaklaridan omon qolganiga qaramay, yaxshi yutuqlarga erishgan. Nemislar orqaga chekinish o'rniga yangisini qabul qilishdi chuqur mudofaa 8.0 km (5 mil) gacha bo'lgan mudofaa zonalari va pozitsiyalaridan iborat sxema.[52]

25 sentyabrda inglizlar Loos jangi, Uchinchi Artois jangining bir qismi, bu shampanning yirik hujumini to'ldirishga qaratilgan edi. Hujumdan oldin to'rt kunlik artilleriya bombardimonidan 250 ming dona snaryad va 5100 ballon xlor gazi chiqarildi.[53][54] Hujumda asosiy hujumda ikkita korpus va Ypresda diversion hujumlarni amalga oshirgan ikkita korpus ishtirok etdi. Inglizlar, ayniqsa, hujum paytida pulemyot o'qi tufayli katta yo'qotishlarga duch kelishdi va snaryadlari tugamasdan cheklangan yutuqlarga erishdilar. 13 oktyabrdagi hujumning yangilanishi biroz yaxshiroq bo'ldi.[55] Dekabr oyida frantsuz tilini general egalladi Duglas Xeyg Britaniya kuchlari qo'mondoni sifatida.[56]

1916

1916 yilda G'arbiy frontdagi nemis askari

Falkenxayn kashfiyot endi mumkin emas deb hisoblaydi va aksincha katta talofat etkazish orqali frantsuzlarni mag'lubiyatga uchratishga qaratdi.[57] Uning yangi maqsadi "Frantsiyani oq tanga qon quyish" edi.[58] Shunday qilib, u ikkita yangi strategiyani qabul qildi. Birinchisi cheklanmagan dengiz osti urushi chet eldan kelayotgan ittifoqchilarni etkazib berishni to'xtatish uchun.[59] Ikkinchisi, ko'p sonli talofat etkazish uchun mo'ljallangan Frantsiya armiyasiga qarshi hujumlar; Falkenxayn strategiya sababli va frantsuzlar orqaga chekinolmaydigan pozitsiyaga hujum qilishni rejalashtirgan edi milliy g'urur va shu tariqa frantsuzlarni tuzoqqa soling. Shahar Verdun buning uchun tanlangan, chunki u qal'alar halqasi bilan o'ralgan va nemis chiziqlari yonida joylashgan muhim qal'a va Parijga boradigan to'g'ridan-to'g'ri yo'lni qo'riqlagan.[60]

Falkenxayn artilleriya otish kuchini jamlash va qarshi hujumga o'tishning oldini olish uchun old tomonning o'lchamini 5-6 kilometr (3-4 mil) bilan chekladi. Shuningdek, u asosiy zaxirani qattiq nazorat ostiga oldi, jangni davom ettirish uchun etarlicha qo'shinlar bilan ta'minladi.[61] Ularning hujumiga tayyorgarlik ko'rish paytida nemislar qal'a yaqinida samolyotlarni to'plashdi. Ochilish bosqichida ular frantsuz samolyotlarining havo maydonini supurdilar, bu esa nemis artilleriya-kuzatuvchi samolyotlari va bombardimonchilarning aralashuvisiz ishlashiga imkon berdi. May oyida frantsuzlar joylashtirishga qarshi turishdi escadrilles de chasse ustun bilan Nieuport jangchilar va Verdun ustidagi havo har ikki tomon ham kurash olib borayotganda jang maydoniga aylandi havo ustunligi.[62]

Verdun jangi

Dushman harakatlarini kuzatayotgan frantsuz askarlari

The Verdun jangi 1916 yil 21 fevralda qor va qor bo'ronlari sababli to'qqiz kunlik kechikishdan keyin boshlandi. Sakkiz soatlik katta artilleriya bombardimonidan so'ng, nemislar Verdun va uning qal'alarida asta-sekin ilgarilab borganlarida katta qarshilik kutishmadi.[63] Frantsiyaning sporadik qarshiligiga duch keldi. Nemislar oldi Douaumont Fort keyin esa kuchaytirish 28 fevralga qadar nemislarning avansini to'xtatdi.[64]

Nemislar o'zlarining e'tiborlarini qaratishdi Le Mort Homme Frantsiyaning artilleriya hujumiga yo'lni to'sib qo'ygan Meusning g'arbiy qirg'og'ida, frantsuzlar daryoning narigi tomoniga o't ochishdi. Kampaniyaning eng qizg'in janglaridan so'ng, tepalikni may oyi oxirida nemislar egallab olishdi. Himoyachilardan Verdundagi frantsuz qo'mondonligi o'zgarganidan keyin Filipp Pétain tajovuzkor fikrga Robert Nivelle, frantsuzlar 22 may kuni Douaumont Fortini qayta egallab olishga urinishgan, ammo osongina qaytarib olingan. Nemislar asirga tushdilar Vaux-Fort 7 iyun kuni va yordami bilan difosgen gaz Verdundan oldin 23 iyunda saqlanib qolgunga qadar so'nggi tog 'tizmasidan 1 kilometr (1100 yd) uzoqlikda joylashgan.[65]

Yozda frantsuzlar asta-sekin oldinga siljishdi. Rollingning rivojlanishi bilan to'siq, frantsuzlar Noyabr oyida Fort Vuxni qaytarib olishdi va 1916 yil dekabrga qadar ular nemislarni Fort Douaumontdan 2,1 km (1,3 milya) orqaga surishdi, bu jang davomida 42 ta diviziyani aylanib o'tishdi. Verdun jangi - "Verdunning maydalash mashinasi" yoki "Meus tegirmoni" nomi bilan ham tanilgan.[66]- frantsuzlarning qat'iyati va fidoyiligi ramzi bo'ldi.[67]

Somme jangi

Asosiy maqola: Somme jangi
Ginchi yaqinida ingliz piyoda qo'shinlari ilgarilab ketishdi. Surat muallifi Ernest Bruks.

Bahorda Ittifoq qo'mondonlari Frantsiya armiyasining Verdundagi ulkan yo'qotishlarga dosh bera olish qobiliyatidan xavotirda edilar. Atrofdagi hujumning asl rejalari Somme daryosi inglizlarga asosiy harakatlarni amalga oshirish uchun o'zgartirish kiritildi. Bu frantsuzlarga, shuningdek, katta yo'qotishlarga duch kelgan ruslarga bosimni engillashtirishga xizmat qiladi. 1 iyul kuni, bir hafta davom etgan kuchli yomg'irdan so'ng, Britaniya bo'linmalari kirib keldi Pikardiya bilan Somme jangi boshlandi Albert jangi, o'ng qanotda beshta frantsuz diviziyasi tomonidan qo'llab-quvvatlandi. Hujumdan oldin etti kunlik og'ir artilleriya bombardimon qilingan. Tajribali frantsuz kuchlari ilgarilashda muvaffaqiyat qozonishdi, ammo ingliz artilleriyasi qopqog'i na tikanli simni portlatdi va na nemis xandaqlarini rejalashtirilganidek yo'q qildi. Ular Britaniya armiyasi tarixidagi bir kun ichida eng ko'p (57000) halok bo'lganlar (o'ldirilganlar, yaradorlar va bedarak yo'qolganlar).[68]

Verdundan olingan saboq, ittifoqchilarning taktik maqsadi havoda ustunlikka erishish edi va sentyabrgacha nemis samolyotlari Somme osmonidan supurib tashlandi. Ittifoqchilarning havo hujumining muvaffaqiyati nemis havo qurolini qayta tashkil etishga olib keldi va ikkala tomon ham yakka kurashga emas, balki samolyotlarning katta tarkibidan foydalanishni boshladilar.[69] Qayta tuzilgandan so'ng, jang iyul va avgust oylari davomida davom etdi, nemis chiziqlari kuchaytirilganiga qaramay inglizlar uchun bir oz muvaffaqiyatlar bo'ldi. Avgustga qadar general Xeyg muvaffaqiyatga erishishi mumkin emas degan xulosaga keldi va buning o'rniga taktikani bir qatorga o'tkazdi kichik birlik harakatlar.[70] Bu katta turtki bilan katta artilleriya bombardimoniga tayyorgarlik ko'rish uchun zarur deb hisoblangan oldingi chiziqni to'g'rilash edi.[71]

Somme jangining so'nggi bosqichi birinchi marta ishlatilgan tank jang maydonida.[72] Ittifoqchilar 13 ta Britaniya va Imperiya bo'linmalari va to'rtta frantsuz korpusini o'z ichiga olgan hujumni tayyorladilar. Hujum dastlabki bosqichga o'tib, 3200–4100 metrga (3500–4.500 yd) ilgarilab bordi, ammo ularning soni kamligi va mexanik ishonchsizligi tufayli tanklar kam ta'sir ko'rsatdi.[73] Jangning yakuniy bosqichi oktyabr va noyabr oylarining boshlarida bo'lib o'tdi va yana og'ir yo'qotish bilan cheklangan yutuqlarni keltirib chiqardi. Hammasi aytganda, Somme jangi atigi 8 kilometr masofani bosib o'tdi va dastlabki maqsadlariga erisha olmadi. Inglizlar taxminan 420,000, frantsuzlar esa 200,000 atrofida yo'qotishlarga duch kelishdi. Hisob-kitoblarga ko'ra nemislar 465 ming kishidan mahrum bo'lishgan, ammo bu raqam ziddiyatli.[74]

Somme to'g'ridan-to'g'ri piyodalarni tashkil qilish va taktikasida katta yangi o'zgarishlarga olib keldi; 1-iyulning dahshatli yo'qotishlariga qaramay, ayrim bo'linmalar o'z maqsadlariga minimal talofatlar bilan erishdilar. Yo'qotishlar va yutuqlar sabablarini o'rganishda, Angliya urush iqtisodiyoti yetarli darajada texnika va qurollarni ishlab chiqargandan so'ng, armiya vzvodni Frantsiya va Germaniya armiyalariga o'xshash asosiy taktik qismga aylantirdi. Somme paytida ingliz katta qo'mondonlari rota (120 kishi) manevraning eng kichik birligi ekanligini ta'kidladilar; bir yildan kamroq vaqt o'tgach, o'n kishidan iborat bo'lim shunday bo'ladi.[75]

Xindenburg chizig'i

1916 yil avgustda G'arbiy front bo'ylab Germaniya rahbariyati o'zgardi, chunki Falkenxayn iste'foga chiqdi va uning o'rnini Xindenburg va Ludendorff egalladi. Tez orada yangi rahbarlar Verdun va Somme janglari nemis armiyasining hujum qobiliyatini susaytirganini angladilar. G'arbdagi nemis armiyasi 1917 yillarning aksariyati uchun strategik mudofaaga o'tishga qaror qildilar, Markaziy kuchlar esa boshqa joyga hujum qilishdi.[76]

Somme jangi paytida va qish oylarida nemislar a mustahkamlash 1915 yilgi mudofaa janglaridan beri ishlab chiqilgan mudofaa tamoyillaridan foydalangan holda Xindenburg chizig'i deb nomlanadigan Noyon Salient orqasida Eingreif bo'linmalari.[77] Bu Germaniya frontini qisqartirish, 10 ta diviziyani boshqa vazifalar uchun ozod qilish uchun mo'ljallangan edi. Ushbu istehkomlar chizig'i Arras janubdan Sent-Kventin old qismini taxminan 50 kilometr (30 milya) ga qisqartirdi.[76] Britaniyaning uzoq masofali razvedka samolyoti birinchi marta 1916 yil noyabrida Hindenburg liniyasi qurilishini ko'rdi.[78]

The Hindenburg liniyasi 2 orasida qurilgan[79] va Germaniya old chizig'idan 50 kilometr (30 milya) orqada. 25 fevralda nemis kuchlari safga chekinishni boshladi va olib chiqish 5 aprelda yakunlandi, orqada a vayron qilingan hudud ittifoqchilar tomonidan ishg'ol qilinishi. Ushbu chekinish frantsuzlarning Noyon shov-shuvli tomonlarining ikkala tomoniga ham hujum qilish strategiyasini bekor qildi, chunki u mavjud emas edi.[80] Biroq, inglizlarning tajovuzkor yutuqlari davom etdi Oliy qo'mondonlik ittifoqchilar ko'proq yo'qotishlarga qaramay, Somme va Verdun janglari paytida nemislarning yo'qotishlaridan kelib chiqib, bu chekinishni olib tashlashdi, deb ta'kidladi.[81]

Ayni paytda, 6 aprelda Qo'shma Shtatlar Germaniyaga qarshi urush e'lon qildi. 1915 yil boshida, cho'kib ketganidan keyin Lusitaniya, Germaniya Atlantika okeanidagi cheklanmagan dengiz osti urushini to'xtatdi, chunki Qo'shma Shtatlarni mojaroga tortish xavfi bor edi. Oziq-ovqat tanqisligi sababli Germaniya jamoatchiligining noroziligi tobora kuchayib borayotganligi sababli, hukumat 1917 yil fevralda dengiz osti kemalarining cheklanmagan urushini davom ettirdi. Ular Britaniyaning muvaffaqiyatli suvosti kemalari va harbiy kemalarini qamal qilish bu mamlakatni olti oy ichida urushdan chiqarib yuborishini hisoblashdi. Amerika kuchlari G'arbiy frontning jiddiy omiliga aylanish uchun bir yil vaqt talab etiladi. The dengiz osti kemasi va dengiz kemalari Angliya konvoy tizimiga murojaat qilishidan oldin uzoq muddatli muvaffaqiyatga erishdi va bu yuk tashish yo'qotishlarining katta pasayishiga olib keldi.[82]

G'arbiy frontdagi Britaniya armiyasi (1917 yil avgust)

1917 yilga kelib G'arbiy frontdagi Britaniya armiyasining soni frantsuz qo'shinlari umumiy sonining uchdan ikki qismiga o'sdi.[25] 1917 yil aprel oyida BEF boshlandi Arras jangi.[83] The Kanada korpusi va 5-divizion, nemis chiziqlariga hujum qildi Vimi Ridj balandliklarni qo'lga kiritdi va janubga birinchi armiya xandaq urushi boshlanganidan beri eng chuqur yutuqqa erishdi. Keyinchalik hujumlar 1916 yilda Sommda olingan saboqlardan foydalangan holda hududni himoya qiladigan nemis qo'shinlari bilan to'qnash keldi. Britaniyaliklarning hujumlari bostirildi va Gari Sheffildning so'zlariga ko'ra, inglizlarga "boshqa har qanday yirik jangga qaraganda" kunlik yo'qotish katta darajada etkazilgan. "[84]

1916–1917 yillar qishida nemis havo taktikasi takomillashtirildi, jangchilar tayyorlash maktabi ochildi Valensiyen va egizak qurolli yaxshiroq samolyotlar ishlab chiqarildi. Natijada ittifoqchilarning havo kuchlari, ayniqsa eskirgan samolyotlar bilan kurashayotgan inglizlar, portugaliyaliklar, belgiyaliklar va avstraliyaliklar halokatli yo'qotishlarga, yomon tayyorgarlik va zaif taktikalarga yaqinlashdilar. Natijada, Somme ustidan Ittifoqchilarning havo yutuqlari takrorlanmasdi va nemislar katta yo'qotishlarga duch kelishdi. Ularning Arrasdagi hujumi davomida inglizlar 316 tasida yutqazdilar havo ekipajlari va kanadaliklar nemislar yutqazgan 44 bilan solishtirganda 114 tasida yutqazdilar.[85] Bu ma'lum bo'ldi Qirollik uchar korpusi kabi Qonli aprel.[86]

Xuddi shu oyda frantsuzlar Bosh qo'mondon, General Robert Nivelle, urushni 48 soat ichida tugatishga va'da berib, nemis xandaqlariga qarshi yangi hujumni buyurdi. Deb nomlangan 16 aprel hujumi Nivelle tajovuzkor (shuningdek,. nomi bilan ham tanilgan Aisne ikkinchi urushi, hujum sodir bo'lgan hududdan keyin) 1,2 million kishidan iborat bo'lib, oldin bir hafta davom etgan artilleriya bombardimoni va tanklar hamrohligida bo'ladi. Hujum ikki kishining yordami bilan frantsuz qo'shinlari sifatida yomon davom etdi Rossiya brigadalari, o'ta yomon ob-havo sharoitida qo'pol, tepalikka qarab kelishish kerak edi.[87] Germaniyaning Hindenburg liniyasiga ixtiyoriy ravishda chiqib ketishi tufayli rejalashtirish buzilgan edi. Maxfiylik buzilgan va nemis samolyotlari havoda ustunlikka ega bo'lib, razvedkani qiyinlashtirgan va ba'zi joylarda frantsuz qo'shinlari uchun juda tez harakat qilgan.[88] Bir hafta ichida frantsuzlar 120 ming talofat ko'rdilar. Qurbonlar va hujumni to'xtatish to'g'risidagi va'dasiga qaramay, agar u katta yutuqlarga erishmasa, Nivelle hujumni may oyida davom ettirishni buyurdi.[83]

3-may kuni charchagan frantsuz 2-mustamlaka bo'limi, Verdun jangi faxriylari, mast holda va qurolsiz kelgan buyruqlarni rad etishdi. Butun bir bo'linmani jazolash uchun vositalar yo'qligi sababli, uning zobitlari zudlik bilan isyonchilarga qarshi qattiq choralarni ko'rmadilar. G'alatlar Frantsiyaning 54 bo'linmasida sodir bo'lgan va 20 ming kishi tark etilgan. Boshqa ittifoqdosh kuchlar hujum qildi, ammo katta yo'qotishlarga duch keldi.[89] Vatanparvarlik va burchga da'vatlar, ommaviy hibsga olishlar va sud jarayonlari kabi. Frantsuz askarlari o'zlarining xandaqlarini himoya qilish uchun qaytib kelishdi, ammo keyingi hujumlarda qatnashishdan bosh tortishdi.[90] 15-may kuni Nivelle qo'mondonlikdan olib tashlandi, uning o'rnini zudlik bilan hujumni to'xtatgan Pétain egalladi.[91] Frantsuzlar keyingi oylarda katta talofatlarga yo'l qo'ymaslik va Frantsiya Oliy qo'mondonligiga ishonchni tiklash uchun mudofaani davom ettirar edilar, inglizlar esa katta mas'uliyatni o'z zimmalariga olardilar.[92]

Amerika ekspeditsiya kuchlari

25 iyunda birinchi AQSh qo'shinlari Frantsiyaga etib kela boshladilar Amerika ekspeditsiya kuchlari. Biroq, Amerika birliklari xandaqqa kirmadi bo'linish kuchi oktyabrgacha. Kelayotgan qo'shinlar bu harakatga qo'shilishidan oldin o'qitish va jihozlarni talab qildilar va bir necha oy davomida Amerika bo'linmalari harakatlarni qo'llab-quvvatlash uchun qoldirildi.[93] Ammo, shunga qaramay, ularning mavjudligi Ittifoqdoshlar ruhiyatiga juda zarur yordam berdi va ittifoqchilarga nisbatan ishchi kuchlari muvozanatini buzishi mumkin bo'lgan qo'shimcha kuchlarni va'da qildi.[94]

Keyingi piyoda askarlarning avansi ingliz piyoda askarlari bir kun ichida plato va tog 'tizmasining sharqiy qismini egallab olish uchun ta'qib qilgan uchta sudraluvchi to'siqlarga tayangan.

Artilleriya joylashuvi gazning og'ir kontsentratsiyasini tanlangan maqsadlarda ishlatishga imkon berdi. Xantal gazi doimiy edi va bu hududni bir necha kun davomida ifloslantirishi mumkin edi, bu inglizlarga rad etdi, bu qo'shimcha ruhiy tushkunlik omili. Ittifoqchilar ishlab chiqarishni ko'paytirdilar kimyoviy urush uchun gaz ammo 1918 yil oxirigacha nemislarni nusxalash va xantal gazidan foydalanishni boshlash kerak edi.[97]

31 iyuldan 10 noyabrgacha Ypresning uchinchi jangi kiritilgan Birinchi Passchendaele jangi va yakunlandi Passchendaele ikkinchi urushi.[98] Jang asl maqsadi Ypresning sharqidagi tizmalarni egallash edi, so'ngra Ipresning shimolidagi G'arbiy frontda nemis garnizonlarini etkazib beradigan asosiy temir yo'lni yopish uchun Roulers va Thouroutga ko'tarildi. Agar muvaffaqiyatli bo'lsa shimoliy qo'shinlar Belgiya sohilidagi nemis suvosti bazalarini qo'lga kiritishgan. Keyinchalik Britaniya armiyasini Ypres atrofidagi tizmalarga ko'tarish bilan cheklashdi, chunki g'ayritabiiy nam ob-havo inglizlarning rivojlanishini sekinlashtirdi. Kanada korpusi bu ishni yengillashtirdi II ANZAK korpusi va 6-noyabr kuni Passchendaele qishlog'ini oldi,[99] yomg'ir, loy va ko'plab qurbonlarga qaramay. The offensive was costly in manpower for both sides for relatively little gain of ground against determined German resistance but the ground captured was of great tactical importance. In the drier periods, the British advance was inexorable and during the unusually wet August and in the Autumn rains that began in early October, the Germans achieved only costly defensive successes, which led the German commanders in early October to begin preparations for a general retreat. Both sides lost a combined total of over a half million men during this offensive.[100] The battle has become a byword among some British revisionist historians for bloody and futile slaughter, whilst the Germans called Passchendaele "the greatest martyrdom of the war."[101]

Kambrey urushi

Asosiy maqola: Kambrey urushi

On 20 November the British launched the first massed tank attack and the first attack using predicted artillery-fire (aiming artillery without firing the guns to obtain target data) at the Kambrey urushi.[102] The Allies attacked with 324 tanks (with one-third held in reserve) and twelve divisions, advancing behind a hurricane bombardment, against two German divisions. The machines carried hayratga soladi on their fronts to bridge trenches and the 13-foot-wide (4 m) German tank traps. Special "grapnel tanks" towed hooks to pull away the German barbed wire. The attack was a great success for the British, who penetrated further in six hours than at the Third Ypres in four months, at a cost of only 4,000 British casualties.[103] The advance produced an awkward salient and a surprise German counter-offensive began on 30 November, which drove back the British in the south and failed in the north. Despite the reversal, the attack was seen as a success by the Allies, proving that tanks could overcome trench defences. The Germans realised that the use of tanks by the Allies posed a new threat to any defensive strategy they might mount. The battle had also seen the first mass use of German Stosstruppen on the Western front in the attack, who used infantry infiltratsiya taktikasi to penetrate British defences, bypassing resistance and quickly advancing into the British rear.[104]

Map of the final German offensives, 1918

Following the successful Allied attack and penetration of the German defences at Cambrai, Ludendorff and Hindenburg determined that the only opportunity for German victory lay in a decisive attack along the Western front during the spring, before American manpower became overwhelming. On 3 March 1918, the Brest-Litovsk shartnomasi was signed and Russia withdrew from the war. This would now have a dramatic effect on the conflict as 33 divisions were released from the Eastern Front for deployment to the west. The Germans occupied almost as much Russian territory under the provisions of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk as they did in the Second World War but this considerably restricted their troop redeployment. The Germans achieved an advantage of 192 divisions in the west to the 178 Allied divisions, which allowed Germany to pull veteran units from the line and retrain them as Stosstruppen (40 infantry and 3 cavalry divisions were retained for German occupation duties in the east).[105]

The Allies lacked unity of command and suffered from morale and manpower problems, the British and French armies were severely depleted and not in a position to attack in the first half of the year, while the majority of the newly arrived American troops were still training, with just six complete divisions in the line.[106] Ludendorff decided on an offensive strategy beginning with a big attack against the British on the Somme, to separate them from the French and drive them back to the channel ports.[107][108] The attack would combine the new storm troop tactics with over 700 aircraft,[109] tanks and a carefully planned artillery barrage that would include gas attacks.[110][111]

Asosiy maqola: Spring Offensive

Maykl operatsiyasi, the first of the German Spring Offensives, very nearly succeeded in driving the Allied armies apart, advancing to within shelling distance of Paris for the first time since 1914.[112] As a result of the battle, the Allies agreed on unity of command. Umumiy Ferdinand Foch was appointed commander of all Allied forces in France. The unified Allies were better able to respond to each of the German drives and the offensive turned into a battle of attrition.[113] In May, the American divisions also began to play an increasing role, winning their first victory in the Cantigny jangi. By summer, between 250,000 and 300,000 American soldiers were arriving every month.[114] A total of 2.1 million American troops would be deployed on this front before the war came to an end.[115] The rapidly increasing American presence served as a counter for the large numbers of redeployed German forces.[114]

In July, Foch began the Marnadagi ikkinchi jang, a counter-offensive against the Marne salient which was eliminated by August. The Amiens jangi began two days later, with Franco-British forces spearheaded by Australian and Canadian troops, along with 600 tanks and 800 aircraft.[116] Hindenburg named 8 August as the "Black Day of the German army."[117] The Italian 2nd Corps, commanded by General Alberico Albricci, also participated in the operations around Reims.[118] German manpower had been severely depleted after four years of war and its economy and society were under great internal strain. The Allies fielded 216 divisions against 197 German divisions.[119] The Yuz kunlik tajovuz beginning in August proved the final straw and following this string of military defeats, German troops began to surrender in large numbers.[120] As the Allied forces advanced, Baden shahzodasi Maksimilian sifatida tayinlandi Germaniya kansleri in October to negotiate an armistice. Ludendorff was forced out and fled to Shvetsiya.[120] The German retreat continued and the Germaniya inqilobi put a new government in power. The Armistice of Compiègne was quickly signed, stopping hostilities on the Western Front on 11 November 1918, later known as Sulh kuni.[121] Nemis Imperial Monarchy collapsed when General Groener, the successor to Ludendorff, backed the moderate Social Democratic Government under Fridrix Ebert, to forestall a revolution like those in Russia the previous year.[122]

The war along the Western Front led the German government and its allies to sue for peace in spite of German success elsewhere. As a result, the terms of the peace were dictated by France, Britain and the United States, during the 1919 Parij tinchlik konferentsiyasi. Natijada edi Versal shartnomasi, signed in June 1919 by a delegation of the new German government.[125] The terms of the treaty constrained Germany as an economic and military power. The Versailles treaty returned the border provinces of Alsace-Lorraine to France, thus limiting the coal required by German industry. The Saar, which formed the west bank of the Rhine, would be demilitarised and controlled by Britain and France, while the Kiel kanali opened to international traffic. The treaty also drastically reshaped Eastern Europe. It severely limited the German armed forces by restricting the size of the army to 100,000 and disallowing a navy or air force. The navy was sailed to Skapa oqimi under the terms of surrender but was later scuttled as a reaction to the treaty.[126]

The unprecedented loss of life had a lasting effect on popular attitudes toward war, resulting later in an Allied reluctance to pursue an aggressive policy toward Adolf Gitler.[127] Belgium suffered 30,000 civilian dead and France 40,000 (including 3,000 merchant sailors).[128] The British lost 16,829 civilian dead, 1,260 civilians were killed in air and naval attacks, 908 civilians were killed at sea and there were 14,661 merchant marine deaths.[129][130] Another 62,000 Belgian, 107,000 British and 300,000 French civilians died due to war-related causes.[131]

Germany in 1919 was bankrupt, the people living in a state of semi-starvation and having no commerce with the remainder of the world. The Allies occupied the Rhine cities of Cologne, Koblenz and Mainz, with restoration dependent on payment of reparations. In Germany a Orqaga tashlangan afsona (Dolchstoßlegende) was propagated by Hindenburg, Ludendorff and other defeated generals, that the defeat was not the fault of the 'good core' of the army but due to certain left-wing groups within Germany who signed a disastrous armistice; this would later be exploited by nationalists and the Natsist party propaganda to excuse the overthrow of the Veymar Respublikasi in 1930 and the imposition of the Nazi dictatorship after March 1933.[132]

France lost more casualties relative to its population than any other great power and the industrial north-east of the country was devastated by the war. The provinces overrun by Germany had produced 40 percent of French coal and 58 percent of its steel output.[133] Once it was clear that Germany was going to be defeated, Ludendorff had ordered the destruction of the mines in France and Belgium.[134] His goal was to cripple the industries of Germany's main European rival. To prevent similar German attacks in the future, France later built a massive series of fortifications along the German border known as the Maginot Line.[135]
