When this map was published:

Published at the time of this map, c.1920:

North-East France and the neighbouring lowland of Belgium proved once again the "Cockpit of Europe". The hill country between the Ardennes and the Vorges formed an obstacle; the Germans forced this barrier with a rush, and deployed between the Ardennes and Paris. Since their on-rush was stayed, they were generally driven back, and the hill country became a source of trouble. The Germans were compelled to maintain their positions on the far slopes, and when these positions were finally lost they were beaten, they could not defend the hill country.
