How did American forces help the allies win the war during World War 1?

Answer 1

Some people might give you an argument as to whether we were really any help at all but we provided over a million fresh troops, large amounts of supplies and monetary aid at a critical time which tilted the balance in the allies favor.

Well, to be quite honest. The large number of soldiers could have brought the allies the victory if they were ever to engaged in battle. Truth is WWI ended with the Americans only seeing very little action (thank god for those young blokes). Second point brought up is very near the truth. The enormous monetary impulse made it happen. Still, let us not forget that the soldiers (both central powers and allies) were sick and tired with the war after four years running up and down the same field. The idea of the US joining the war with an enormous amount of fresh soldiers demoralized the German troops and (more important) high command. Question back though. Didn't the US do something naval as well?

Its clear that the brunt of the fighting in the West was taken by the British Empire/Commonwealth and the French. The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia gave Germany the opportunity to wage the war on one front. With the entry of the US into the war the Germans felt that they needed to make a serious push to end the war in 1918. The strategic thinking of the Germans was that the arrival of fresh US soldiers would tilt the balance of the war in the Allies favor and the Germans wanted to make the push before the full weight of the US could be felt. In looking at the results of the German offensive in 1918, it is again clear that the brunt of the offensive was taken by the Anglo-French soldiers. After the German offensive sputtered, US forces were heavily involved in the Argonne region, taking extensive casualties (100,000 +/-). Without US entry into the war, the Germans very well may have sat back in their trenches and the war in the west could have resulted in a stalemate which results in German victory inasmuch as the war had been won by the Germans in the east. The best statement describing the American contribution to the Allied victory in WWI is that we were the feather that broke the camels back.

there were several contributions: the production of weapons and supplies, the soldiers who contributed, and the moral support, ships and tactics.

***all stats for last 3 months

The Americans were more for morale support, as statistics prove that they did very little in contributing to the war effort in terms of victories, miles gained (34), POW taken (16000), German troops engaged (47), and more. Their army was over 605000 strong, but only mounted their first offensive in September, 1918 at St. Michel, and suffered huge casualties. The American Expeditionary Force, could've contributed a lot more if it wasn't for the stubbornness of their commander John "Blackjack" Pershing, who lacked coordination with other armies and thought he could do it all himself. A prime example of this is the US (605000 active soldier during last 3 months)in relation to Canada (105000). US sufferred 2200 casualties per Ger. troop faced while Can. 975. However, the Americans did provide morale support and ultimately became the world superpower after a war-ravaged Europe finally emerged from the blood and mud. -VIGI RAM #5
