Answer 1

Germany launched a powerful offensive against the Allies on the Western Front in March and July 1918, pushing the Allied lines back. The city that they hoped to capture before proceeding to Paris was Brussels.

Step-by-step explanation:

In March and July 1918, Germany launched a powerful offensive against the Allies on the Western Front. During this offensive, Germany concentrated its forces and advanced forty miles west, pushing the Allied lines back. The city that the Germans hoped to capture before proceeding to Paris was Brussels.

Between March and July 1918, the Germans hammered at Allied lines, pushing them back to within 50 miles of Paris.

After years of stalemate along the French-German border, it suddenly looked as if Germany might win the war.
