	First World War.com - Battles - The Third Battle of the Aisne, 1918
		The focus of the offensive was the Chemin des Dames Ridge, held by the Germans upon their retreat from the Marne in September 1914 until their ejection, at huge cost to the French, during the Nivelle Offensive, also known as the Second Battle of the Aisne, in April 1917.
		Erich Ludendorff, although subservient to Paul von Hindenburg within the German Third Supreme Command, effectively dictated the planning and execution of the German war effort.
		At the time of the offensive the front line of the Chemin des Dames was held by four divisions of the British IX Corps, ironically sent from Flanders in early May in order to recuperate.

		The battle is often regarded as demonstrating that the Royal Navy was technologically inferior to the German Navy.
		Passchendaele, otherwise known as the Third Battle of Ypres, was one of the major battles of World War I, fought by British and Commonwealth soldiers against the German army near Ypres (Ieper in Flemish) in West Flanders, northwestern Belgium.
		These battles, and those British and Commonwealth soldiers who gave their lives, are commemorated at the Menin Gate Memorial in Ypres, the Tyne Cot Memorial to the Missing, and at the Tyne Cot Cemetery, the largest Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in the world with nearly 12,000 graves.

	First World War.com - Battles - The First Battle of the Aisne, 1914
		The First Battle of the Aisne was a follow-up offensive by the Allied forces against the right wing of the German First and Second armies (under von Kluck and von Bulow) in retreat after September 1914's First Battle of the Marne.
		As it was, the progress of the Allied forces, British and French, was slow, owing to fatigue and to caution.
		Two further battles took place at the Aisne, during April-May 1917 (the Second Battle of the Aisne), and May-June 1918 (the Third Battle of the Aisne).

	1918, March 21-April 5. 2001. The Encyclopedia of World History
		The Allied counteroffensive was of importance because it frustrated Ludendorff's plan for a great attack in Flanders, and because it enabled Foch to take the initiative in the months to come.
		After the second battle of the Marne the Allied forces, together with the Americans, gradually went over to a sustained offensive, consisting at first of a series of local attacks but later merging into a general movement.
		The resulting blows, together with the news of the surrender of Bulgaria, shook the nerve of Gen. Ludendorff, who, in something of a panic, demanded (Sept. 29) that the government initiate armistice and peace negotiations while the army could still hold out.

	Trench Warfare on the Aisne
		But, if this is so, the fighting is naturally on a scale which as to extent of ground covered and duration of resistance, makes it undistinguishable in its progress from what is known as a "pitched battle," though the enemy certainly showed signs of considerable disorganization during the earlier days of their retirement phase.
		Whether it was originally intended by them to defend the position they took up as strenuously a they have done, or whether the delay, gained for them during the 12th and 13th by their artillery, has enabled them to develop their resistance and force their line to an extent not originally contemplated cannot be said.
		This is the third day the troops have been gallantly holding the position they have gained against most desperate counterattacks and the hail of heavy artillery.

		Finely honed German infantry tactics combined with a furiously concentrated artillery bombardment, operating under a sky dominated by the 'Jagdgeschwader' of the VII German army, had proved to be a deadly alloy.
		By mid May most of these units had began to familiarise themselves with this new sector, which apart from the areas immediately adjacent to the Battle Zone, with its fair share of villages reduced to battered ruins and shell-blasted woodlands, was remarkably untouched by the ravages of war.
		This was an astonishing feat, even for a year which had, and was again to restore fluidity to a war which had been bogged down since the 'race to the sea' of 1914.
