September 13, 1914
The end result of the pivotal Battle of the Marne is that there is no end result. The master battle plans, the French Plan 17 and the German Schlieffen plans have both failed and left both sides exhausted and in positions from which they could not retreat. There are still battles to fight this year, and the war will expand its horizons but the reality of a terrible static war of attrition is beginning to sink in.
