EPISODE 7: In the popular British narrative, 1918 is the ‘forgotten year’ of the First World War. PETER HART explains how, in fact, it was vital to turning stalemate into Allied victory. After the Germans failed in their last great gamble to win the war in massive spring offensives, the Allied coalition relentlessly pressed home its growing advantage in men and resources to force a final German retreat.
