    1. The Battle of Passchendaele 31 July 1917 – 10 November 1917 This battle was fought for control of the city of Passchendaele. The city was located on a ridge that sat above the rest of the land, offering whoever had control of the city a strategic advantage in the war. The plan was to drive through the German forces and reach the Belgium coast where they would capture the submarine bases located there. Also, by distracting the Germans there would be less pressure on the French, who were suffering from low morale.
