The Western Front was the main theatre of war during the First World War. Following the outbreak of war in August 1914, the German Army opened the Western Front by invading Luxembourg and Belgium, then gaining military control of important industrial regions in France. The tide of the advance was dramatically turned with the Battle of the Marne. Following the Race to the Sea, both sides dug in along a meandering line of fortified trenches, stretching from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier with France, which changed little except during early 1917 and in 1918.

First World war caused India to go nearly bankrupt and high casualties (half million people from India volunteered from India)
It led to the increase of huge rise in defense expenditure of British India, which in turn increased taxes from masses, with minimum left in hands for spending.
