Flanders Campaign

The Flanders Campaign refers to a series of military operations during World War I, primarily from 1914 to 1918, in the Flanders region of Belgium and northern France. It involved intense trench warfare, characterized by brutal battles like those at Ypres, where soldiers faced harsh conditions, heavy casualties, and the introduction of chemical weapons.
