The French stopped the German advance in the west.
At the First Battle of the Marne (September 1914) Allied forces halted the German Schlieffen Plan, preventing a quick German victory and producing the trench lines and stalemate that turned the conflict into a prolonged war through 1915 and beyond. The U.S. did not enter until 1917, the Russian Revolution (1917) actually led to Russia’s withdrawal, and the Russians did not stop the German advance in 1914.
