The Allied victory in 1918 was built on the backs of British, French, and American soldiers who joined together to fight for a common cause. Using the diaries, records, and letters of these men, Chris Kempshall shows how these soldiers interacted with each other during four years of war. The British army that arrived in France in 1914 became isolated from their French allies and unable to coordinate with them. By 1916, Britain?s professional soldiers were replaced by civilians who learned to love their French ally, who reached out to them in friendship. At the end of the war the introduction of American soldiers caused hope and conflict before perceived British failures brought the alliance to the brink of collapse. Final cooperation between these three nations saw them victorious. . 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aFrance?History 606 $aGreat Britain?History 606 $aUnited States?History 606 $aWorld history 606 $aHistory of Military$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/721000 606 $aHistory of France$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717040 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 606 $aUS History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/718010 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/719000 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aFrance?History. 615 0$aGreat Britain?History. 615 0$aUnited States?History. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 14$aHistory of Military. 615 24$aHistory of France. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aUS History. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 676 $a355 700 $aKempshall$b Chris$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064611 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299811703321 996 $aBritish, French and American Relations on the Western Front, 1914?1918$92539424 997 $aUNINA
