Third Battle Of Ypres
Why was the Third Battle of Ypres considered a futile engagement?
AThe Germans started a large offensive in 1915 in Ypres and Verdun, but the Allies took back Alsace and Lorene.
BThe Allies engaged the German forces in 1917 with a plan to make a substantial thrust but made little progress and over 500,000 lives were lost.
CThe Germans started a large offensive in 1914, but the Allied counterattack annulled any progress they made and 100,000 lives were lost in the process.
DIt was the first time tanks were used on a wider scale, in 1916, but most of them were not functional and ended up doing more harm than good.
