1918 Spring Offensive

The 1918 Spring Offensive was Germany’s final major push during World War I, launched in March to break through Allied lines before American forces arrived in full strength. It involved rapid, large-scale attacks intended to win the war before the Allies could fully mobilize. Despite initial successes and significant gains, German forces exhausted their resources and faced stiff resistance. The offensive ultimately failed to achieve a decisive victory and marked the beginning of the end for Germany, leading to their retreat and the eventual armistice in November 1918.
