	First Battle of the Marne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The battle of the Marne was a major turning point of World War I. By the end of August 1914, the whole Allied army on the Western Front had been forced into a general retreat back towards Paris.
		The First Battle of the Marne is best remembered for the approximately six hundred Paris taxicabs, mainly Renault AG's, which were commandeered by the French authorities and used to transport a total of six thousand French reserve infantry troops to the battle.
		Their impact on morale, however, is undeniable: the taxis de la Marne, as they are known in French, were perceived as a manifestation of the sacred union (union sacrée) of the French civilian population and its soldiers on the front, reminiscent of the people in arms who had already saved the French Republic in 1794.
