On March 3, 1918, Germany and Russia sign a peace treaty in Brest-Litovsk.
Shortly afterward, on the first day of spring, March 21, the western front witnesses
the start of a huge German offensive, directed by Ludendorff. The Allies are in
deep trouble, but during the summer they manage to turn the tide and launch
a counteroffensive. The Germans are now fast running out of resources and
capitulate on November 11 in the railway car that serves as headquarters of
Marshal Foch, the Allied commander-in-chief, in the village of Rethondes, near
Compiègne . . .
