Question

When american troops finally arrived in europe:

a. they organized alliances after the war among fourteen prominent nations.
b. the british and french were in full retreat.
c. they were too late to participate in the meuse-argonne campaign.
d. they helped push back a german offensive near paris.
e. they turned the tide of the war?

Answer 1

American troops helped turn the tide of the war. Once Russia dropped out of the war in 1917 because of the Bolshevik Revolution, the Germans were able to push all of their soldiers from the Eastern Front to the exhausted Western Front where they faced decimated French and British troops. However, the timely arrival of the American Expeditionary Force under the leadership of John J. Pershing, the Allies, including America, were able to turn the tide and push the Germans back from the Western Front.
