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?

Have you done a blog post about the transition on the Western front that must have taken place between the initial war of manoeuvre and trench warfare setting in?
I haven't. The Battle of the Frontiers and the Race to the Sea are really complex sets of engagements. Hard to do in a blog post given how many people and moving parts there are.
