Second Battle of Soissons

The Second Battle of Soissons, fought in July 1918 during World War I, was a significant Allied offensive against German forces in France. The Allies aimed to push back the German army, which was weakened after years of war. The battle involved coordinated attacks by American, French, and other Allied troops that broke through German lines near the town of Soissons. This victory helped hasten the Germans' retreat, boosting Allied morale and contributing to the collapse of German resistance in the final months of the war. It marked a turning point towards the eventual Allied victory.
