The American Expeditionary Forces of WWI
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
When the United States entered World War I in April 1917, it faced a daunting reality: the American Army was small, inexperienced in modern industrial warfare, and thousands of miles away from the battlefields of Europe. Yet within a year, more than two million American soldiers would cross the Atlantic to join the fight. They were known collectively as the American Expeditionary Forces—and their arrival would help tip the balance of the war.
