	First World War.com - Battles - The First Battle of Champagne, 1914
		The First Battle of Champagne, which after minor skirmishes began on 20 December 1914, was effectively the first significant attack by the Allies against the Germans since the construction of trenches following the so-called 'race to the sea' during the autumn of 1914.
		The offensive was launched with minor attacks on 10 December 1914 at the southern edge of the Sayon salient, near Perthes in eastern Champagne.
		Joffre therefore determined to continue the wider offensive at the northern edge of the Sayon salient; he later resumed the Champagne offensive in the autumn of 1915.

		It was to the interest of the Count of Champagne, virtually independent of his nominal suzerain, the King of France, to extend the liberties and prerogatives of the towns.
		Traditional historians have dated the decline of the Champagne fairs to the conquest of Champagne by Philip the Bold in 1273 and Champagne's subsequent inclusion within the Crown of France by Philip IV in 1284.

		These preparations were assisted by the extension of the British front as far as the Somme, thus releasing a large number of French troops for the operations in Champagne; by the formation of new French units; and by the extraordinary quantity of ammunition made available by hard and continuous work in the factories.
		Though when I visited the battlefield of Champagne the guns were still roaring-for the Germans were attempting to retake their lost trenches in a desperate series of counter- attacks - the field was already dotted with thousands upon thousands of little wooden crosses planted upon new-made mounds.
		During the three days that I spent upon the battlefield of Champagne the roar of the guns never ceased and rarely slackened, yet not a sign of any human being could I see as I gazed out over that desolate plain on which was being fought one of the greatest battles of all time.

		The battle was a disaster for Italy, but the new line soon stabilised, and in 1918 the Germans pulled their troops out of the front, expecting the Austrians to be able to deal with Italy on their own now that the Russian front was won.
		First was the battle of Heligoland Bight (28 August 1914), which began as an British attempt to stop German patrols, and escalated when the Admiralty sent in Cruisers from the Grand Fleet, and the Germans sent out some of their own Cruisers.

		In this battle of the vines, Champagne's 669 villagers have told the European Court of Justice that wine has been produced on the slopes above Lake Neuchtel since the Romans discovered the joys of mountain air.

		But Jean-Luc Barbier, director-general of the French Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne, says that, given that there are dozens of French villages called Champagne and none is allowed to use the name on wine, he does not see why the rule should be different across the border.

		Champagne, the very symbol of sophistication, graceful living and celebration, is produced nowhere else in the world.
		All champagnes are made within a few miles of each other outside Reims and Epernay, near the Abbey of Saint-Pierre where the legendary Benedictine monk, Dom Pérignon, supposedly invented the bubbly by accident in the early 18th Century (some would say by divine inspiration).
		Champagne derivatives such as, "Ratafia", "Marc de Champagne" and "Fine de Marne" are also quite popular, as well as other spirits and wines including "Côteaux Champenois" (available in white and red), "Bouzy rouge", "Riceys rose", cider and fruit liqueurs.

		The consolidation of the trench barrier on the Western Front after the First Battle of Ypres (October - November 1914) did nothing to deter Joffre from seeking an early victory against the Germans and expelling them from French soil.
		The renewed Allied action in December 1914 was based on a strategy that was to guide French action for the rest of the war: Artois and Champagne, the two sides of the German salient in France, which had its apex west of St. Quentin, would be the primary targets.
		The main effort was concentrated in Champagne, beginning on 20 December and continuing into the new year; it was eventually suspended in the face of strong German counterattacks, but renewed again a month later, in March.
