This week in AvA - Hundred days . WWI setup
« on: November 21, 2014, 08:47:20 AM »
This week I have decided to do another WWI setup. Ennjoy !!

The Hundred Days (18 July-11 November 1918)

This was the final Allied offensive on the Western
Front.

 The stalemate on the Western Front had been broken
by the great German offensive of the spring and
summer of 1918, which had pushed the Allies back
up to forty miles and created a series of huge
salients in the Allied line. They had failed to
achieve their main objective, which had been to
separate the British from the French and capture
the channel ports, and had drained much of the
strength out of the German army. As the German
offensives began to run out of power,
 
 Foch began to plan the Allied counterattack.
This was to begin with a series of  attacks designed
to eliminate the salients in preparation for a final
campaign in 1919.  If the initial attacks went well,
then Foch hoped to launch a major offensive that he
hoped would push the Germans back off French soil.
Even if that succeeded,

 There was every chance that the Germans might choose
to defend their own borders, leaving the final
campaign still to be fought. However the war would end
much sooner than expected when the offensive began.
The Offensive set the stage for Germany's retreat
and final surrender in November, 1918. As the
offensive rages on the ground The Royal Air Force
and the Imperial German Air Service clash in a fight
to the finish above Northern France.
