Meuse-Argonne Offensive

The Meuse-Argonne Offensive was a major military campaign during World War I, fought between September 26 and November 11, 1918, primarily by American forces. It aimed to break through German defenses in northeastern France and ultimately push the Germans to surrender. This offensive involved over a million American soldiers and was one of the largest in U.S. history, leading to significant casualties on both sides. The campaign played a crucial role in weakening German forces and contributed to the end of the war, marking a turning point in the United States' involvement in global affairs.
