The Germans were exhausted after their 1918 offensive. Manpower shortages, naval blockades, supply shortages-all were taking their toll.
Besides, the AEF made up less than 10% of the entire Allied force at the height of it's power in June (I think). Something like 7 divisions out of 178 total Allied divisions.
I think we certainly quickened the war's ending, but I think the British & French could've won without us.
How it effects the next 90 years I have no clue. Mark?
