Canucks sure get worked up for very little. Also love how this describes the hierarchy of the Western front.

I just finished Thucydides, i knew that happened but i wasn't prepared for how it hit when it did

I doubt recall the French army ever being as far north as Vimy though.

And I doubt you know what you are talking about.

Ayo hol up.
>The initial French attack broke through and captured Vimy Ridge
>The French offensive had advanced the front line about 1.9 mi (3 km) towards Vimy Ridge, on an 5.0 mi (8 km) front.
So you can't say they weren't there to nudge the leafs forward.

Nah have to say this one was out of my league. Most maps I've glanced at have the British manning upper Flanders and the French everything south from that so I didn't realize French and British forces meshed so much to organize attacks that far north.

>Convoy PQ-17

Why didn't the Imperial Germans push through the Rivers Meuse and Moselle to get to the Marne and then heads towards Aisne and Oise while leaving their left flank on the defensive?

I read about it when I was young.
>commander decide to abandon convoy and put R flag
>German fleet that was main reason to do this just go back to port and did nothing
>most military ships dumps all civilian freighters and run
>some stay and try to escort forming mini convoys
>that one ship who decide to paint themselves white and disguise as a iceberg
>that one freighter - that smoke a lot as it was coal burner - decide to go alone so he will not attract Germans to other ships
To be honest Brits just do not want supply USSR and decide sacrifice convoy to prove that its not a safe route.

That's where all the French fortifications were. The sector didn't budge much save for some French victories in 1918, and what transpired in 1914 with plan XVII calling on the French to march there.

Most intense fighting of WWI was compacted around Verdun (quickest route to Paris) and Flanders/French north (both sides wanting to relieve pressure on their respective side of the coastline and to outflank each other).

ALSO, it didn't help that Germans were much more happy to defend in the West than to attack, till 1918 that is.
