The Eastern Front of World War I was characterized by its vast, open spaces and long front lines stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea. In contrast, the Western Front was characterized by its narrow, heavily fortified trenches that extended from the North Sea to the Swiss border. The strategies employed on the Eastern Front were more fluid and mobile, with armies able to move more freely across the vast terrain. On the Western Front, the strategies were more static and focused on trench warfare, with both sides digging in and attempting to break through enemy lines through attrition and heavy artillery bombardment.
