Hundred Days Offensive

The Hundred days offensive is the term used for the last phase of the First World War, on the western front. Between 8 August and 11 November 1918, allied troops did a number of offensives against the Germans. This forced the Germans to retreat behind the Hindenbug line. It ended with the Armistice of Compiègne.
