The most significant event of 1917 when it comes to WWI is the engagement of the US. Beginning late in that year, doughboys began flooding the European landscape, bringing thousands of .30-caliber rifles and deadly hand grenades to the battle trenches. The war until then had been nearly static, in terms of the front lines. The entrance of the Americans made that status quo impossible to maintain.
