概要
By 1917 the war no longer pretended to be about glory. Whatever illusions survived 1914 had been buried in mud, wire, and arithmetic. This was now a war of exhaustion, and everyone involved knew it, even if they could not yet say it aloud. The question was no longer who would win quickly, but who could endure longer—economically, politically, psychologically.
On the Western Front the lines still ran like scars across France and Belgium. Millions of men had rotated through the trenches, but the geography barely moved. The great battles of the previous year—Verdun and the Somme—had proved something terrifyingly clear: industrial war could consume human lives at a rate no society had ever prepared for. Verdun alone had cost roughly 700,000 casualties. The Somme more than a million. And yet neither had delivered decisive victory. Instead, they taught generals and governments the same brutal lesson: modern defenses favored the defender, and breaking them required either overwhelming material superiority or time measured in years.
