During World War I, the Allies that suffered heavy losses included France, Russia, and the United Kingdom. France experienced devastating casualties, particularly during battles like Verdun and the Somme. Russia faced significant losses on the Eastern Front, exacerbated by military defeats and internal strife, while the UK also incurred substantial fatalities, especially during trench warfare. These heavy losses had lasting impacts on military strategies and national morale.

In 1917 and 1918, the Allies faced several significant setbacks, including the Russian Revolution, which led to Russia's withdrawal from World War I and the subsequent Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, allowing Germany to shift its focus to the Western Front. The Allies also struggled with resource shortages and troop morale, particularly evident during the disastrous Nivelle Offensive in April 1917, which resulted in heavy casualties and widespread mutinies among French troops. Additionally, the German Spring Offensive in 1918 initially caught the Allies off guard, leading to significant territorial losses before the Allies eventually regrouped and counterattacked. These challenges put immense pressure on the Allied forces but ultimately set the stage for their eventual victory later in 1918.

I have it that the first Continental Line battle against the British was met with defeat, however, the British suffered heavy losses and many Minutemen escaped.
Woodrow Wilson's peace plan, more commonly referred to as the Fourteen Points, made him a hero with the public. However, the same was not true of his diplomatic allies. Many had suffered great losses at the hands of Germany, and were more interested in making Germany pay reparations for those losses. Although the allies publicly supported Wilson's plan to keep them in favor with the public, privately they did not agree that his plan would work.
