At the Battle of the Bulge:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Battle of the Bulge was fought in December 1944 and resulted in a German defeat. However, the German army's success in initially breaking through the Allied lines created a bulge in the front line, hence the battle's name. The battle was significant because it reduced Germany's troop reserves, and the weakened state of the German army let the Allies push deeper into Germany. This weakening of Germany's army created a vulnerability that allowed the Allies to advance into the heartland of Germany from the west.
