The Marne Division !!! Rock of The Marne 3rd Division My Dad Served In WW2 With The 3rd Division North Africa , Sicily, The Italian Campaign and The Liberation of France 🇫🇷
The French was the biggest part for sure. But compare with 1914 when the British had one unit thinking they could hold or stall with in Belgium alone. The British build-up of the army during WW1 was immense. All nations did mobilize but look at the starting forces compared to 1918 forces (and the Brits did take big losses in WW1)...
Re General Mangin, his quote "Whatever you do, you lose a lot of men" is a truism valid to this day
Excellent
Another fine presentation having abysmal video quality. Maps shown are basically worthless.
Very good talk.
I think Wilson's order to Pershing is in regards to the British suggestion to use individual US soldiers as replacements in British units🙂

The Australians saved the Channel Ports. Fact
A whole regiment doesn’t volunteer to be in the sacrificial trenches. They were ordered to.
Even a cursory reading of history would tell you that simply isn't the case.
Magnificent but not war? Not said originally in 1918 lady, but during the Crimean War seven decades before.
very good lecture... I learned a lot about French military capabilities.. if Marne was the turning point Amiens in Aug was the war winning battle..
Please do not pronounce Gouraud (Guro) like Giraud (Jiro) (French general of WWII and rival of De Gaulle)

The first world war is only forgotten to Americans. So egocentric.
This guy is really anti British ! Any opportunity he played down the British role , and much of what he says regarding the British can be challenged.
Genuine question, in which way is he downplaying the British here ?
You're an idiot.
