74.18 Endgame, 1918
Manage episode 378317375 series 72038
In Spring 1918 a massive German offensive made significant territorial gains, but ultimately not the intended breakthrough, and the Allied forces stood firm. Exhausted and demoralised at the scale of casualties, the Germans were pushed back in a major counter-attack in the late Summer and Autumn. And on 26 September, the Allies launched a general offensive along the entire Western Front.
Meanwhile, the Habsburg empire was fast falling apart as various nationalities declared independence.
