EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative diagram, dating back to 1914, illustrates the strategic defensive layout of the forts surrounding the Belgian city of Liege during the early stages of World War I. The Battle of Liege, which unfolded in August of that year, marked the first major confrontation between the German and Allied forces. The city's fortifications, a testament to Belgium's military preparedness, played a crucial role in delaying the German advance through Belgium. The Battle of Liege was a pivotal moment in the early history of the war, as it marked the beginning of the German push towards Paris. The German forces, under the command of General Alexander von Kluck, initially faced stiff resistance from the Belgian and French defenders, who held out for several days within the city's fortified walls. The forts, depicted in this diagram, were designed to provide a comprehensive defensive perimeter, protecting the city from multiple angles. The Battle of Liege ultimately ended on August 16, 1914, when the German forces breached the city's defenses, leading to the retreat of the Allied forces. Despite the eventual defeat of the Belgian and French defenders, the delaying action bought valuable time for the Allied forces to regroup and prepare for the next phase of the war. This historical diagram offers a unique perspective on the military strategy and tactics employed during the early stages of World War I, providing a valuable insight into the complexities of the conflict that would come to shape the course of the 20th century.
