2nd Battle of the Marne

The Second Battle of the Marne, fought in July-August 1918, was a crucial turning point in World War I. It marked the final major German offensive on the Western Front, aiming to defeat the Allies before American troops fully arrived. The Allies, primarily French and American forces, successfully resisted and launched a counterattack. This victory halted the German advance and shifted momentum in favor of the Allies. It signaled the beginning of the end for Germany, leading to their eventual surrender and the conclusion of the war later that year.
