There were two primary reasons why the allies’ offensive move- ment in southern Belgium failed—the nature of the German ground and the fall of Namur. GOOD REGION FOR DEFENSE The allies used three armies in their operations, Two advanced on Ardennes, one from the northwest and the other from the south. The third advanced in the angie formed by the confluence of the Meuse and Sambre rivera. Ardennes is thickly wooded, hilly and crossed by many streams. Such # region is admirable for defense. This fact tn itself in sufficient to account for the Germans’ success against the two opposing armies there. NAMUR STRONGLY FORTIFIED ‘The fall of Namur undoubtedly drove the allies’ third force out of the Meuse-Sambre angle, completing the German victory Namur’s defenses are much more compact than those at Liege, and The allies’ triple fallure in Belgium, Lorraine and Alsace does not speak highly for the strategy evolved in Paris.
