3 h 21 m, 26 jun 1917 ano - The First U.S. troops arrive in Europe in WWI

Descrição:

In June of 1917, the first U.S. troops entered Europe. It was really not until October though that they actually went to the front lines. Throughout 1917 and into 1918, American divisions were usually employed to augment French and British units in defending their lines and in staging attacks on German positions. Beginning in May 1918, with the first United States victory at Cantigny, AEF commanders increasingly assumed sole control of American forces in combat. By July 1918, French forces often were assigned to support AEF operations. Americans were involved in this event. This event is so important in history because it shaped how the war went and the outcome of it. It is also a very important event because it changed how America looked to the rest of the World and the power that the U.S. has. This event is so huge to how America stand and has shaped the world today.
