Passchendaele: A Conflict of Interests
In the Third Battle of Ypres, commonly known as the Battle of Passchendaele, the British and French armies attempted a three-phase attack on German lines, hoping to break the stalemate that had been occurring since 1914 on the Western Front. ...
One of the main reasons Passchendaele is thought of in such a negative light is because of General Haig’s inability to learn from past battles and value the lives of his troops; Haig’s “grand scheme for a breakthrough” (Prior, 21) meant that many soldiers would die. ... The Battle of Passchendaele was a debacle for the British because there was never a good relationship and communication between Haig and Lloyd George. ... This conflict of interests was the predicament that plagued the British war effort and ultimately led to the debacle at Passchendaele.
