The Western Front
A large part of the war took place at the western front. It's a line bordering France, Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium. Most of the Western Front is bordering eastern France, and most of the battles during the war took place here including some of the most important like Verdun, Somme, and Passchendaele. With all these battles the death toll was huge, over four million people from both sides. Despite many attempts no enemies could manage to push past the front until the 1918. Many features of the Western Front are iconic for WW1, like mud-filled trenches, artillery bombardments, appalling tactical blunders, futile charges on enemy positions, periods of stalemate, high death rates, and harsh conditions.
