The Meuse-Argonne Offensive was the last Allied offensive on the Western Front in World War I. The offensive was the final phase of the One Day Offensive and led to the final German defeat in World War I. The battle was fought from September 26 to November 11, 1918 in the Argonne Forest area in France.
Explanation:
- Following the German withdrawal from the Marne, General Ferdinand Foch and the Allied High Command are launching a series of concerted and almost simultaneous attacks on the visibly weakened German army.
- One of these attacks targeted the Meuse River Valley, according to the Mézière and Sedan rail centers. American troops marched west of the Meuse River, while French marched west of the Argonne Forest.
- The Americans soon found themselves in trouble when they set foot in the dense Argon Forest, which was causing them problems.
- General Pershing's first surprise attack penetrated as much as 8km along the Meuse River, but only 3km through the Argon Forest. The Americans were penetrating slowly and gradually destabilizing German defense positions.
- On the 11th November, the Germans realized that they had been defeated and retreated so as not to be captured.
