Talk:Battle of Mulhouse

Question

Hello editors, one question: Why is this considered a German victory? According to the article, the French took Mulhouse and controlled Upper Alsace before making a strategic retreat. Shouldn't it be considered a "French Tactical Victory" then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.134.75.13 (talk) 09:54, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

I assume it was because the French got booted out.Keith-264 (talk) 17:03, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Found a few more details in sources I didn't possess during the rewrite, including a few more details about casualties, Infobox not yet amended. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 12:55, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

@LaHire07: do you read these articles or skim the lead? You're creating a lot of disputed edits for the sake of questionable changes. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 16:24, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

I have read the entirety of the article before making that change. It seems to me that the narrative shows a German victory for the first phase and a French victory for the second phase. The French army withdrew as a consequence of other battles elsewhere, in order to reposition. Locally the battle of Mulhouse was a French victory. And I realize I was not the only one who was wondering that. I don't think that "German victory" is supported by the article. The British army withdrew at Mons following the withdrawal of the French army at Charleroi, so I guess that Mons is a British defeat? LaHire07 (talk) 16:30, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

That suggests that you are indulging in OR. Wiki isn't a source and the RS are. It would be better to mention it here and ask editors to check the RS to clarify if necessary. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 16:48, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
