So given that we are discussing Versailles again and the March Offensives, I thought that we should complete this discussion about what truly could have ended the war in a positive manner...the waring nations coming to the negotiating table.
So what I am suggesting is how the central powers could have forced that with America in the war. I suggest that the pointless attacks OTL be given up for more focused attacks as the defensive cannot be afforded. Amiens and Hazebrouck are must take cities that were the focus of British supplies. Given that this book: http://www.amazon.com/German-1918-O...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218565263&sr=8-1
discusses this option from the perspective of a former general that focuses on WW1 history, I am willing to use this document as a starting point for discussion.
What would this have achieved though? Would forcing the British to withdraw really have affected French moral enough to cause them to come to the negotiating table? What other effects would more well chosen targets have had on the end of the war? Would anything have helped at this point?
