Encyclopedia : S : SE : SEC : Second Battle of Artois

---

A battle on the western front of World War I, the First Battle of Artois was fought at the same time as the Second Battle of Ypres. Even though the French under Field Marshall Philippe Pétain gained some initial victories, the Battle ended in what was largely a stalemate. This was the final allied offensive of the spring of 1915, followed by a lull in the fighting until September 1915 which saw the Battle of Champagne and the Third Battle of Artois.
