Card time-period, 1916-18. Battle Fields, Western Front with locations in Northern France & Belgium. The Western Front was the main theater of war during the First World War. Following the outbreak of war in August 1914, Kaiser Wilhelm's German Army opened the Western Front by invading Luxembourg and Belgium, then gaining military control of important industrial regions in France. Massive artillery bombardments and massed infantry advances, entrenchments, machine gun emplacements, barbed wire and artillery repeatedly inflicted severe casualties during attacks and counter-attacks. Among the costliest of these offensives were the Battle of Verdun, in 1916, with a combined 700,000 casualties the Battle of the Somme, also in 1916, with more than a million casualties, and the Battle of Passchendaele (Third Battle of Ypres), in 1917, with 487,000 casualties. In the end: Kaiser Wilhelm II, (Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert), was born January 27, 1859, in Potsdam, near Berlin. He, died June 4, 1941, in Doorn, Netherlands. Wilhelm was the supreme German Emperor and King of Prussia from 1888 to the end of World War I in 1918. By the autumn of 1918, Germany had lost the war but he had not realized that the loss had made the loss of his throne inevitable. Refusing to abdicate, his hand was finally forced on November 9, 1918, when he was persuaded to seek asylum in the Netherlands. He avoided captivity and perhaps death, but asylum also made it impossible for William to retain his position of Emperor of Germany. Or so the story goes...
