The American Strike that Changed the World
As the US joined World War 1, their inexperienced troops and lack of military doctrine gave Allied commanders scarce hope that they would turn the tide of a war in which Britain and France were barely holding the line against a relentless German offensive, and Russia had signed a separate peace treaty with the central powers.

The film ends with a German soldier surrendering and a title card at 3:30 concluding that the battle was won.
The Battle of Cantigny, fought May 28, 1918 was the first major American battle and offensive of World War I. The U.S. 1st Division, the most experienced of the five American divisions then in France and in reserve for the French Army near the village of Cantigny, was selected for the attack. The objective of the attack was both to reduce a small salient made by the German Army in the front lines but also to instill confidence among the French and British allies in the ability of the inexperienced American Expeditionary Force (AEF).
