Which lasted longer, the Second Battle of the Marne or the Battle of Belleau Wood?
Second Battle of the Marne The Second Battle of the Marne (French: "Seconde Bataille de la Marne" ), or "Battle of Reims" (15 July – 6 August 1918) was the last major German offensive on the Western Front during the First World War. The attack failed when an Allied counterattack by French and American forces, including several hundred tanks, overwhelmed the Germans on their right flank, inflicting severe casualties. The German defeat marked the start of the relentless Allied advance which culminated in the Armistice with Germany about 100 days later.
Battle of Courtrai (1918) The Battle of Courtrai (also known as the Second Battle of Belgium (French: "2ème Bataille de Belgique" ) and the Battle of Roulers (French: "Bataille de Roulers" )) was one of a series of offensives in northern France and southern Belgium that took place in late September and October 1918.
