French won the Battle of the Marne. Paris is the heart of France, but Germans would not have stopped there. They would have swept westward to the sea and mopped up all the northern part of France at their leisure. It would then have taken only a small force to capture the Channel ports. Had the war ended then with Germany the victor, no less than 9,500,000 lives would have been saved and an amount of human misery and suffering prevented which no words and no figures can possibly describe. While the economic shock of the war would have been great, if it had lasted only three months the present economic prostration of the world would never have come to pass.
