Here's what happened on September 05, 1914:

  • First Battle of the Marne - A Turning Point in World War I On September 5, 1914, the First Battle of the Marne began northeast of Paris, marking a critical moment in World War I. French and British allied forces launched a decisive counter-offensive against the advancing German armies, successfully halting their rapid invasion of France. This battle effectively disrupted the German Schlieffen Plan, which had aimed for a quick victory by rapidly defeating France before turning to fight Russia.
  • Allies Formalize London Pact Great Britain, France, Belgium, and Russia signed the Pact of London, solidifying their alliance and mutual commitment during the early stages of World War I. This diplomatic agreement strengthened the coalition against the Central Powers and demonstrated the unified resolve of these nations.
