Legion Magazine Article - "12 Military Events that Shaped Canada - The 100 Days, 1918" - November/December 2012 THE PAPER COPY HAS BEEN DEACCESSIONED BUT THE DIGITAL SCANNED COPY WILL REMAIN ON PAST PERFECT. The Hundred Days Offensive was the final period of the First World War, during which the Allies launched a series of offensives against the Central Powers on the Western Front from 8 August to 11 November 1918, beginning with the Battle of Amiens. The offensive essentially pushed the Germans out of France, forcing them to retreat beyond the Hindenburg Line, and was followed by an armistice on 11 November 1918. The term "Hundred Days Offensive" does not refer to a specific battle or unified strategy, but rather the rapid series of Allied victories starting with the Battle of Amiens. Article attached to Media
