Joseph Joffre
Joseph Joffre was a French general and the commander-in-chief of French forces during the early years of World War I. He is renowned for his leadership during the First Battle of the Marne in 1914, where his strategies helped halt the German advance into France. Joffre's approach emphasized mobility and decisive engagements, but he later faced criticism for his handling of the static trench warfare that characterized much of the conflict, including the Battle of Verdun.
