Third Battle of the Aisne
The Third Battle of Aisne began on May 27, 1918. The Germans began a massive surprise attack on the French and British. The British lost many soldiers in battle. After the bombardment, there was a poison gas drop. It seemed like it was going to be an easy win for the Germans, until they encountered some troubles. The Germans began to experience fatigue, lack of supplies, and many casualties. Recently after these troubles began, the United States army stepped in and saved the day, unfortunately they couldn't save all of the lives that had been lost before that. The French had over 98,000 casualties and the British had around 29,000 casualties. German losses were even greater. The American soldiers had proven themselves strong for the first time in this war.
I think that even though this battle caused many casualties, it was important for the United States. The United States army had proven themselves strong and powerful for the first time in this war. They came in at the end of the war and finished it without losing too many men.

Good but a bit brief overall.
