There were two Battles of the Marne during World War I: The First Battle of the Marne (also known as the Miracle of the Marne) was a World War I battle fought from September 5 to September 12, 1914. It was a Franco-British victory against the German army under Chief of Staff Helmuth von Moltke the Younger. By the end of August 1914, the whole Allied army on the Western Front had been forced into a general retreat back towards Paris. Meanwhile the two main German armies continued through France. It seemed that Paris would be taken as both the French Army and the British Expeditionary Force fell back towards the Marne River. The Second Battle of the Marne, or Battle of Reims, was a major World War I battle fought from July 15 to August 5, 1918, near the Marne River. It was the last major German offensive in the Western Front, and failed when an Allied counter-attack led by French forces overwhelmed the Germans, inflicting severe casualties.
In 1918, more than 1 million American soldiers advanced on heavily fortified German positions during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in France. This operation was part of the larger Hundred Days Offensive, which aimed to push back German forces and ultimately contribute to the end of World War I. The offensive was one of the largest in American military history and marked a significant turning point in the war.
The Tet Offensive was a large scale offensive campaign made by the communist Vietcong forces during the Vietnam war. Despite a victory for the United States of America and her allies on the battlefield this did prove to be a turning point in the war.

The Battle of Cantigny, fought in May 1918, marked a significant turning point in World War I, as it was the first major American offensive. The successful U.S. forces helped to boost Allied morale and demonstrated the effectiveness of American troops. Although the war continued until November 1918, the U.S. involvement, particularly in battles like Cantigny and later the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, contributed to the pressure on Germany that ultimately led to the armistice and ceasefire agreement on November 11, 1918.
