First Battle of Marne: It was fought in the North and East of Paris in early September 1914. It was a good opportunity for the French forces to advance through Belgium and France; fighting against the German's. French commander in chief Joseph Joffre ordered the attack. The British Expeditionary Force (BEF) rallied with the French Fifth Army to storm the German front. The French forces eventually won by taking advantage of the German's weak points in their defenses.
Second Battle of Marne: It was the last major German offensive on the Western Front. It began on July 15, 1918. It first started with Germany attacking in the Battle of Champagne. But the French were able to hold back their attacks. Later on, the French decided to launch a counter attack and the French came out with yet another victory against the German's.
