Armenian Genocide and Kurdish Uprisings moved back to the Other Encounters of the Middle East Theater section. My reason is that these were not unified military campaigns but rather scattered pockets of resistance. Regarding Sayfo. I'm not very knowledgeable on this topic so if any of you are, I would greatly appreciate your edits.

This '''list of military engagements of World War I''' covers terrestrial, maritime, and aerial conflicts, including campaigns, operations, defensive positions, and sieges. Campaigns generally refer to broader strategic operations conducted over a large bit of territory and over a long period of time. Battles generally refer to short periods of intense combat localized to a specific area and over a specific period of time. However, use of the terms in naming such events is not consistent. For example, the [[First Battle of the Atlantic]] was more or less an entire theatre of war, and the so-called battle lasted for the duration of the entire war.<ref name="milhistcomp-1996" />

This is a '''List of military engagements of [[World War I]]''' which encompasses land, naval, and air engagements as well as campaigns, operations, defensive lines and sieges. Campaigns generally refer to broader strategic operations conducted over a large bit of territory and over a long period of time. Battles generally refer to short periods of intense combat localised to a specific area and over a specific period of time. However, use of the terms in naming such events is not consistent. For example, the [[First Battle of the Atlantic]] was more or less an entire theatre of war, and the so-called battle lasted for the duration of the entire war. Another example is the [[Battle of Gallipoli]] (also called the "Dardanelles Campaign"), which in fact was a number of battles fought between 1915 and 1916.

The [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]] comprised the fractious borders between France, Germany, and the neighboring countries. It was infamous for the nature of the fight that developed there; after almost a full year of inconclusive fighting, the front had become a giant trench line stretching from one end of Europe to the other.<ref name="milhistcomp-1996">Cowley and Parker (editors), pp. 521–526</ref>

*[[First Battle of the Isonzo]]
The [[Battle of Liège]] was the first battle of the war, and could be considered a moral victory for the allies, as the heavily outnumbered [[Belgian Army|Belgians]] held out against the [[German Army (German Empire)|German Army]] for 12 days. From 5 to 16 August 1914, the Belgians successfully resisted the numerically superior Germans, and inflicted surprisingly heavy losses on their aggressors. The [[2nd Army (German Empire)|German Second Army]], comprising 320,000 men, crossed into [[neutrality (international relations)|neutral]] Belgium in keeping to the [[Schlieffen Plan]], with the ultimate goal of attacking [[France]] from the north. Liège was key strategically as it held a position at the head of a pass through the [[Ardennes]], which made it the best possible route into the heart of Belgium itself.<ref name="wwonline-liege">{{cite web|url=http://www.firstworldwar.com/battles/liege.htm|title=Battles – The Battle of Liege, 1914|last=Duffy|first=Michael|date=2000–2009|access-date=2009-11-10}}</ref>

The city was surrounded by a ring of 12 heavily armed forts, garrisoned by 70,000 men under the command of [[Gérard Leman]]. A night attack on 5 August was repulsed with heavy losses to the Germans to the extreme surprise of the supremely confident German army.{{Citation needed|date=April 2014}} The next day, rather than confront the forts in battle, the German commander [[Erich Ludendorff]] attacked the city through the back, through a break in the line of fortresses that the Belgians had intended to fortify, but never did so. Although they succeeded in capturing the city, the Germans knew that they could not continue advancing troops into Belgium without first breaking down the forts. Aided by 17-inch [[Howitzer]]s, the Germans finally succeeded in bringing down the forts on 16 August.<ref name="wwonline-liege" />

The early French initiative, to capture territory lost to the Germans in the 1870–1871 [[Franco-Prussian War]], which France had started, was played out in a series of frontier battles between the Germans and the French, known collectively as the [[Battle of the Frontiers]]. The battles at [[Battle of Mulhouse|Mulhouse]], [[Battle of Lorraine|Lorraine]], [[Battle of the Ardennes|the Ardennes]], [[Battle of Charleroi|Charleroi]], and [[Battle of Mons|Mons]] were launched more or less simultaneously, and marked the collision of the German and French war plans, the [[Schlieffen Plan]] and [[Plan XVII]], respectively.<ref name="milhistcomp-1996" /><!-- important! refer to how to do this right -->

==* '''[[Battle of GallipoliMulhouse|GallipoliBattle of Mülhausen]] =='''
The [[Battle of Mulhouse|Battle of Mülhausen]] was the opening attack by the [[France|French]] against the [[German Empire|Germans]]. The battle was part of a French attempt to conquer the province of [[Alsace]], which had been lost as a consequence of having lost the [[Franco-Prussian War]] of 1870–1871, as it had a majority of ethnic Germans. A French force under General [[Louis Bonneau]] detached from the [[I Corps (France)|French First Corps]] and invaded the frontier on August 8, 1914. Opposing them was the [[7th Division (German Empire)|German 7th Division]]. The capture of the area, preordained by the French [[Plan XVII]], was to boost national pride—and to provide a guard force for the flank of subsequent invasions.<ref name="wwonline-mulhouse" />
[[Image:W Beach Helles Gallipoli.jpg|thumb|right|300px|W Beach, Helles, on January 7, 1916, just prior to the final evacuation of British forces during the [[Battle of Gallipoli]].]]
 
The French quickly captured the border town of [[Altkirch]] with a [[bayonet charge]]. Bonneau, suspicious of the little German resistance, was wary of a carefully planned German trap. However, under orders the next day he advanced to [[Mülhausen]], capturing it with little effort, for the Germans had already abandoned it.<ref name="wwonline-mulhouse" />
The [[Battle of Gallipoli]] (also called the "Dardanelles Campaign"), was in fact a number of battles fought between 1915 and 1916.
 
In France, the conquering of the German city [[Mülhausen]], without a fight, was celebrated greatly. However, with the arrival of German reserves from [[Straßburg]], the tides were turned, and the Germans mounted a counterattack on nearby [[Cernay, Haut-Rhin|Cernay]]. Unable to mount an all-encompassing defense, and unable to call on reserves of his own, Bonneau began a slow withdrawal from the region. Support troops hastily sent by the French [[commander-in-chief]] [[Joseph Joffre]] arrived too late to prevent Bonneau from retiring. Joffre was immensely angry with Bonneau, charging him with a "lack of aggression" and immediately relieving him of command. Realizing the psychological magnitude of the loss, he assembled a force, led by [[Paul Pau]], which tried unsuccessfully to recapture the province.<ref name="wwonline-mulhouse">{{cite web|url=http://www.firstworldwar.com/battles/mulhouse.htm|title=Battles – The Battle of Mulhouse, 1914|last=Duffy|first=Michael|date=2000–2009|access-date=2009-11-10}}</ref>

The invasion and recapture of [[Lorraine]] formed one of the major parts of the French pre-war strategy, [[Plan XVII]].<!-- link or no link? --> The loss of [[Lorraine (province)|Lorraine]] (and [[Alsace]]; see above) to the [[Prussia]]ns in the 1870–1871 [[Franco-Prussian War]] was seen as a national humiliation by the public and military alike, and was at the forefront of their minds for the next war against the Germans.<ref name="wwonline-loraine">{{cite web|url=http://www.firstworldwar.com/battles/loraine.htm |title=Battles – The Battle of Loraine, 1914 |last=Duffy |first=Michael |date=2000–2009 |access-date=2009-11-10 }}{{dead link|date=March 2016}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
 
The battle was initiated by the French [[French First Army|First]] and [[French Second Army|Second]] armies. The First, led by [[Augustin Dubail|General Auguste Dubail]], intended to take [[Sarrebourg]], whilst the Second, led by [[Noel de Castelnau|General Noel de Castelnau]], intended to take [[Morhange]]. Both towns were well fortified, and the task of defending them fell to [[Crown Prince]] [[Rupprecht, Crown Prince of Bavaria|Rupprecht]], who had overall control of the German [[6th Army (German Empire)|Sixth]] and [[7th Army (German Empire)|Seventh]] armies.<ref name="wwonline-loraine" />

Rupprecht adopted a strategy in which he would fall back under the French attacks, then counter-attack once he lured the French all the way to his fortifications. As the French army advanced, it met stern resistance in the form of German [[artillery]] and [[machine-gun]] fire. [[German General Staff|Army Chief of Staff]] [[Helmuth von Moltke the Younger|Helmuth von Moltke]] authorized a more aggressive tactic soon after, and on August 20, the German army started to roll back the French. Caught by surprise and without the assistance of entrenched positions, the Second Army was pushed back quickly, eventually into France itself. A gap was exposed between the forces in [[Mulhouse]] and those in [[Lorraine]]; the forces in Mulhouse were withdrawn to keep the gap from being taken advantage of by the Germans.<ref name="wwonline-loraine" />

Diverging from the [[Schlieffen Plan]], Rupprecht received reinforcements and attacked the French line near the [[Trouée de Charmes]]; however, through the use of [[reconnaissance aircraft]], the French spotted the German buildup, and were able to build an adequate defence. Thus the German gains were minimized, and were eradicated by a following French counter-assault on the 25th. Fighting continued there until the end of August, and quickly ground into a stalemate and [[trench warfare]].<ref name="wwonline-loraine" />

The [[Battle of Ardennes]], fought between 21 and 23 August 1914, was another of the early frontier battles, conducted during the first month of the war. The battle was sparked by the mutual collision of French and German invasion forces in the lower [[Ardennes]] Forest.<ref name="wwonline-ardennes">{{cite web|url=http://www.firstworldwar.com/battles/ardennes.htm|title=Battles – The Battle of the Ardennes, 1914|last=Duffy|first=Michael|date=2000–2009|access-date=2009-11-10}}</ref>

The pre-war French strategy expected German forces in the area to be light, and the French light, rapid firing artillery was expected to convey an advantage in forested terrain over the bigger German guns. Instead, it became increasingly apparent to all of the commanders in the region that a significant enemy presence was gathering, for the Germans had planned an offensive through the area.<ref name="wwonline-ardennes" />

The sets of armies joined battle on both sides.

The German troops started moving through the forest on 19 August. Conditions worsened, and by the time the two armies met, the forest was covered in a deep fog, resulting in the two forces stumbling into one another. At first, the French took the Germans as a light screening force; however, in reality the French were heavily outnumbered. The first day of the battle consisted of light skirmishes; the main battle did not begin until 21 August.<ref name="wwonline-ardennes" />

According to the pre-war French strategy document, [[Plan XVII]], German forces in the area were only expected to be light, with French light, rapid-firing artillery proving advantageous in a wooded terrain such as that found in the Ardennes. However, what emerged was totally opposite; the French eagerly charged at German positions in the woods, and were mowed down by machine-gun fire. The French armies retreated hurriedly in the face of superior German tactical positioning, and the Germans chased them all the way back into the French border. In addition to losing a key strategic position, the French forfeited [[iron]] resources in the region as well.<ref name="wwonline-ardennes" />

* '''[[Battle of Charleroi]]'''
== Air engagements ==
The [[Battle of Charleroi]], another of the frontier battles, was an action taking place 12–23 August 1914. The battle was joined by the [[French Fifth Army]], advancing north towards the [[River Sambre]], and the German [[2nd Army (German Empire)|Second]] and [[3rd Army (German Empire)|Third]] armies, moving southwest through Belgium. The Fifth army was meant to join the Third and Fourth armies in their attack through the Ardennes. However, this plan was put into effect assuming the Germans were not considering an assault further north, through Belgium—which was the German plan all along. [[Charles Lanrezac]], commander of the Fifth Army, was strongly against the idea, fearing an attack from the north. However [[Joseph Joffre]], chief-of-staff, rejected any such idea; after much persuasion, Lanrezac finally convinced him to move the Fifth Army northwards.
World War I was the first war to see major use of planes for offensive, defensive and reconnaissance operations, and both the [[Triple Entente|Entente Powers]] and the [[Central Powers]] used planes extensively. Almost as soon as they were invented, planes were drafted for military service.
 
However, by the time the Fifth Army arrived, units of the German Second Army were already in the area. Joffre authorized an attack across the Sambre, predicting that the German force had 18 divisions, comparable to Lanrezac's 15, plus another 3 British reinforcements (the [[British Expeditionary Force (World War I)|British Expeditionary Force]]). However, Lanrezac predicted much higher numbers, closer to the actual number—32 German divisions. He preferred to wait for reinforcements, however that same day the Germans attacked across the river and established two beachheads, neither of which fell despite several French counterattacks.
 
The next day, the main attack began; the fighting carried on through the day, and into the next. The French centre suffered severe losses and retreated; but the west and east flanks both held their ground. However, the retreat of cavalry divisions to the far west exposed the French west flank. With news of his situation, and the fact that his flanks could give and be completely enwrapped, Lanrezac ordered a general retreat into northern France.
 
* '''[[Siege of Maubeuge]]'''
The French town of [[Maubeuge]] was a major fort on the French side of the border. With a junction of no fewer than five major railway lines, it was recognized as a key strategic position by both sides; hence the construction of 15 forts and gun batteries ringing it, a total of 435 guns, and a permanent garrison of 35,000 troops. These were further bolstered by the choosing of the town as the advance base of the [[British Expeditionary Force (World War I)|British Expeditionary Force]]. However, when these and the [[French Fifth Army]] retreated following the events at [[Battle of Charleroi|Charleroi]], the town was cut off from allied support, and subsequently besieged on August 25. The German heavy artillery succeeded in demolishing the key forts around the city, and General Joseph Anthelme Fournier, in command of the garrison in the city, surrendered to the Germans some 13 days later.<ref name="wwonline-maubeuge">{{cite web|url=http://www.firstworldwar.com/battles/maubeuge.htm|title=Battles – The Battle of the Maubeuge, 1914|last=Duffy|first=Michael|date=2000–2009|access-date=2009-11-10}}</ref>
