They also provided our armies training and military advisers because our “doughboys” had no practical experience in World War I warfare.Not that it really mattered, by the time the American Expeditionary Force had arrived the German’s spring offensive had failed, and the British and French drove the Germans back to the Hidenburg Line and were preparing another offensive to drive the Germans out of France and Belgium entirely. In the meantime the Germans were clearly losing, as they were suffering serious shortages of manpower, equipment, money, and resources. Things were so bad that the German people were suffering annual famines, called “turnip winters”. I would say Germany was pretty much done for before we even showed up. -- source link
