The Germans are 30 miles from Paris.

*The Battle of the Marne- Beginning on Sept 5th 1914 the German army was stopped just outside of Paris by French and British forces. The German troops were unable to continue their push into Paris and both sides started to dig in, leading into drawn out trench warfare on the western front.
