This week on the blog: we've discussed what caused the WWI trench stalemate and why 'just going on the defensive' wasn't a solution. What about all of the other possible solutions? Was this a solvable problem? In 1940 maybe, but not in 1918.https://acoup.blog/2021/09/24/collections-no-mans-land-part-ii-breaking-the-stalemate/ …

Enjoyed part 1 hugely. It answered a lot of my questions. Maybe part 2 will include ‘Why did they not make peace’?
Alas no. But as I noted in Part I, "Not having a WWI" was the true winning strategy of WWI. Alas, it was found hard and not tried.
