After the [[First Battle of the Marne]], both [[Triple Entente|Entente]] and German forces began a series of outflanking manoeuvres, in the so-called "[[Race to the Sea]]". Britain and France soon found themselves facing entrenched German forces from [[Lorraine (province)|Lorraine]] to Belgium's [[Flanders|Flemish]] coast.<ref name=AJPT2/> Britain and France sought to take the offensive, while Germany defended the occupied territories; consequently, German trenches were generally much better constructed than those of their enemy. Anglo-French trenches were only intended to be "temporary" before their forces broke through German defences.<ref>{{harvnb|Goodspeed|1985|p=199 (footnote)}}</ref> Both sides attempted to break the stalemate using scientific and technological advances. On 22 April 1915 at the [[Second Battle of Ypres]], the Germans (in violation of the [[Hague Conventions (1899 and 1907)|Hague Convention]]) used [[chlorine gas]] for the first time on the Western Front. Algerian troops retreated when gassed and a six kilometre (four mile) hole opened in the Allied lines that the Germans quickly exploited, taking [[Kitcheners' Wood]]. [[Military history of Canada during World War I|Canadian soldiers]] closed the breach at the [[Second Battle of Ypres]].<ref>{{harvnb|Love|1996}}</ref> At the [[Third Battle of Ypres]], Canadian and [[ANZAC]] troops took the village of [[Battle of Passchendaele|Passchendaele]].
