It was part of the larger Battle of Arras, so I scored that answer
as almost correct despite the mention of Arras in the question.
The significance of Vimy Ridge is the Canadian forces' achievements.

A plurality of entrants guessed Marathon, but Marathon is northeast

actually northwest of Athens, not north, but given the distance and

Dien Bien Phu. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, Calvin, Dan Tilque,

Vientiane is in Laos, about twice as far from Hanoi. Tonkin is
the district where Hanoi is located, and the "Tonkin Incident"
(or in full, "Gulf of Tonkin Incident") took place, or allegedly
took place, in the sea southeast of Hanoi.
