Argonne Forest

Argonne Forest was a dense woodland area in northeastern France that played a crucial role during World War I, particularly in the Battle of Argonne Forest (1918). It was characterized by thick trees and rough terrain, making military operations challenging. The forest served as a strategic location where Allied forces launched a significant offensive against German lines, leading to a breakthrough that contributed to ending the war. Today, it is part of the Argonne National Laboratory, a site for scientific research, preserving its historical importance and natural landscape.
