Kingdom of Italy Great Britain America

4 Leaders Joined the German army in 1882
General Erich Ludendorff of the German army Joined the German army in 1882 Head of mobilization of the Schlieffen plan Egotistical and believed in Darwinian ideals Did not know the connection between war, economics, politics, and diplomacy Issued the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk Stated the consequence of the allies if they lost Created “stab-in-the-back” phrase Claimed no responsibility for the German defeat

5 Leaders (cont.) General Ferdinand Foch of the Allied armies
Fought in Franco-Prussian war Wrote The Principles of War and The Conduct of War Named Commander in chief of allied armies in 1918 Victory against the Germans with a counter offensive Named marshal of france in 1919

6 Battle Techniques French dug false trenches.
German General Erich Ludendorff planned to bring war to Flanders. Used Marne as a diversion so he could lead most of Allied force to the city. German First and Third Army began to attack east of Reims. Remaining soldiers attacked from west to split up French forces. French dug false trenches. German troops would waste ammunition on these. When facing real French army, had no time to get supplies, ended up retreating.

7 Who Won? Why did they succeed in winning?
The Allies, which consisted of Great Britain, Italy, America, and France, won. They won because they overpowered Germany’s offensive strategy and attacked back at the Germans (called counteroffensive). France not only had the support of Great Britain and Italy, but American troops of 140,000 had also joined them. This forced the Germans to return back to their grounds.

8 Impacts on the War Second Battle of Marne marks the point at which the Allies managed to stop the massive offensive German army and become offensive themselves. Battle was pivotal in the victory of WWI for the Allied forces. Germans would never become offensive again. After a series of defenses, Germany surrendered on November 11, 1918, which ended WWI.
