The Battle of La Bassée was fought in October 1914, during World War I. It was part of the Race to the Sea, as both the German and Franco-British forces attempted to envelop the northern flank of their opponent.
The German 6th Army took Lille before the British could secure it, and then attacked the exposed British flank at Ypres. The British were driven back and the Germans occupied La Bassée and Neuve Chapelle.
The British recaptured Givenchy-lès-la-Bassée, but failed to recover La Bassée. German reinforcements arrived and regained the initiative, until the arrival of the Indian Corps. The battle at La Bassée eventually became localized as both sides focused on the First Battle of Ypres.

The initiative held by the Germans in August was not recovered as all troop movements to the right flank were piecemeal. Until the end of the Siege of Maubeuge (24 August – 7 September), only the single line from Trier to Liège, Brussels, Valenciennes and Cambrai was available and had to be used to supply the German armies on the right, while the 6th Army travelled in the opposite direction, limiting the army to forty trains a day, that took four days to move a corps. Information on German troop movements from wireless interception, enabled the French to forestall German moves but the Germans had to rely on reports from spies, which were frequently wrong. The French resorted to more cautious infantry tactics, using cover to reduce casualties and centralised command as the German army commanders followed contradictory plans. The French did not need to obtain a quick decisive result and could concentrate on preserving the French army by parrying German blows.
The Battle of La Bassée was fought by German and Franco-British forces in northern France in October 1914, during reciprocal attempts by the contending armies to envelop the northern flank of their opponent, which has been called the Race to the Sea. The German 6th Army took Lille before a British force could secure the town and the 4th Army attacked the exposed British flank further north at Ypres. The British were driven back and the German army occupied La Bassée and Neuve Chapelle. Around 15 October, the British recaptured Givenchy-lès-la-Bassée but failed to recover La Bassée.
German reinforcements arrived and regained the initiative, until the arrival of the Lahore Division, part of the Indian Corps. The British repulsed German attacks until early November, after which both sides concentrated their resources on the First Battle of Ypres. The battle at La Bassée was reduced to local operations. In late January and early February 1915, German and British troops conducted raids and local attacks in the Affairs of Cuinchy, which took place at Givenchy-lès-la-Bassée and just south of La Bassée Canal, leaving the front line little changed. From 17 September to 17 October the belligerents had tried to turn the northern flank of their opponent. Joffre ordered the French Second Army to move to the north of the French Sixth Army, by moving from eastern France from 2 to 9 September and Falkenhayn ordered the German 6th Army to move from the German-French border to the northern flank on 17 September. Next day, French attacks north of the Aisne led to Falkenhayn to order the 6th Army to repulse the French and secure the flank.

⇒8月にドイツ軍が維持していた主導権は、全軍隊の右側面への移動がすべて断片的だったため、回復しなかった。モーベージュの包囲戦が終了するまで（8月24日－9月7日）、トリエーからリエージュ、ブリュッセル、バレンシエンヌ、そしてカンブレーまでの1本線のみが利用可能で、（もっぱら）これが右翼のドイツ軍への補給のために使用された。一方、第6方面軍は反対方向に移動したが、1日40列車に制限されたので、１個軍団の移動に4日かかった。

⇒無線の傍受によってドイツ軍の移動に関する情報が入ったので、フランス軍はドイツ軍の移動を未然に防ぐことができた。ドイツ軍はスパイからの報告に頼らざるを得なかったは、それはしばしば誤報であった。フランス軍は、ドイツ軍司令官が対抗する計画を続けたため、より慎重な歩兵戦術を採用して死傷者の削減と中央集権の指揮を計った。フランス軍としては、迅速で決定的な結果を得る必要はなかったので、ドイツ軍の打撃を回避してフランス方面軍の保護に集中することができた。

⇒「ラ・バセの戦い」は、1914年10月にフランス北部でドイツ軍と仏英軍によって戦われた。それは、敵対相手の北側面隊が展開する方面軍を抑えようとする試みの期間で、「海への競争」とも呼ばれた。英国軍団が町を確保できる前にドイツの第6方面軍がリールを奪取して、第4方面軍はイープルでさらに北に露出された英国軍の側面を攻撃した。英国軍は後退し、ドイツ方面軍がラ・バセとヌーヴ・シャペルを占領した。10月15日頃、英国軍はジバンシー-レ-ラ・バセを奪還したが、ラ・バセの回復には失敗した。

⇒インド軍団の一部であるラホール師団が来る前にドイツ軍の増援隊が到着し、主導権を取り戻した。英国軍は11月上旬までドイツ軍の攻撃を撃退し、その後は双方とも「第一次イープルの戦い」に自前の資源を集中させた。ラ・バセでの戦いは、局地での活動に絞られた。1915年1月下旬から2月上旬にかけて、ドイツ軍と英国軍の部隊は（互に）「キュインシー事件」で襲撃と局地攻撃を行った。それは、ジバンシー-レ-ラ・バセ、およびラ・バセ運河のすぐ南で起こったが、前線はほとんど変わらないまま残った。

⇒9月17日から10月17日まで、両対戦軍ともに相手の北側面に回り込もうと試みた。ジョフルは、第２方面軍に対して、9月2日から9日にかけてフランス東部から出てフランス第６方面軍の北に移動するよう命令した。それでファルケンハインは、ドイツ第６方面軍に対して9月17日にドイツとフランスの国境から北側面に移動するよう命令した。翌日、フランス軍のエーヌ北部に対する攻撃により、ファルケンハインはフランス軍を撃退し、側面を確保するよう（自軍の）第6方面軍に命じた。
