The Western Front was one of the main theatres of war during the First World War after Germany invaded Luxembourg and Belgium then crossed into France. Millions lost their lives in trenches that both sides dug along the front, however, despite heavy losses on both sides, the actual front itself changed little during the war years. In 1918 with growing concerns about the imminent arrival of the Americans who had entered the war and the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk which saw Russia withdraw from the war, releasing German pressure on the Eastern Front, the Germans launched Operation Michael which saw the Western front pushed back to within shelling distance of Paris. However a new unified command of the Allies and reinforced with some 300,000 American soldiers saw the tide turn and the Germans later surrendered ending war on the Western Front on 11th November 1918. In this Western front game help the Allies re-capture occupied territory in a series of war missions.
