1918: Haig, the 100 Days, and the Forgotten Victory

After four years of bloody stalemate and a German breakthrough in March 1918, the Allies decisively defeated Germany in a series of offensives from 8th August to 11th November. This course will examine the various explanations for such a sudden and dramatic end to a long war. Why did Austro-German morale collapse? How significant was US entry into the war and the arrival of American troops? How critical was the role played by the British Army and its Commander-in-Chief, Field Marshal Haig?
