The three World War I battles around a Belgian town were fought in and around which town?

• A. Ypres
• B. Verdun
• C. Somme
• D. Marne

Answer: (A)

Battles around a Belgian town refers to the sequence of major engagements that took place near the city of Ypres in Flanders. The First Battle of Ypres (1914), the Second Battle of Ypres (1915), and the Third Battle of Ypres (1917, also known as Passchendaele) were all fought in and around the Ypres area, making it the focal point of those three WWI battles. Verdun, Somme, and Marne are battles centered in France (Verdun, the Somme, and the Marne rivers, respectively), not Belgium. So the town in question is Ypres.
