... Vimy Ridge was captured by the Germans in October 1914 and retained by them until April 1917 when, in three days of fighting the Allies, and in particular Canadian soldiers, recaptured Vimy Ridge in one of the few successful trench attacks in World War One. For this piece of coursework I will be comparing Source C and Source D to see why the battle of Vimy Ridge has been viewed in different ways. Starting with Source C, the nature of Source C is a French newspaper, so therefore it can tend to exaggerate or sensationalise its stories and headlines. Also, because it is a newspaper it could be controlled by the government, so therefore it can only show a limited amount of the real story or lie and show another story. The main reason why I believe that the French newspaper calls the Vimy Ridge battle 'great success'
