What was the name of the final Allied offensive in WWI?

• A. Battle of Somme
• B. Battle of Argonne Forest
• C. Battle of Midway
• D. Battle of Gettysburg

Answer: (B)

The Meuse-Argonne Offensive, often called the Battle of Argonne Forest, is the final Allied push in World War I. In late September 1918, American forces led by General John J. Pershing joined with French and British units to break through the heavily defended Hindenburg Line along the Meuse River. The effort involved large-scale troop movement, coordinated artillery, and sustained fighting that pushed German forces back and disrupted their ability to wage war. The breakthrough helped force Germany to seek an armistice, which came a little over a month later in November 1918, ending the war. The other options refer to battles that occurred earlier in World War I, or to battles in other wars, so they don’t fit as the final Allied offensive.
