By 1916 the war had reached a stalemate. Much of the land war was fought in trenches where little ground was gained and many lives were lost. At sea, German submarines (U-boats) sank shipments of supplies destined for England and France. The French and British navies blockaded the North Sea to prevent supplies from reaching Germany. Neither side had a clear advantage that could break the stalemate, and both sides were suffering heavy losses and growing weary of war. Nevertheless, the impasse could not last forever; and both sides were desperate in their attempts to enlist additional support. Propaganda flooded the United States taking advantage of the intense interest with which sympathizers were watching both sides.
During World War I, the arrival of the American Expeditionary Force (or, AEF) affected the Allied war effort in numerous ways, including on the front line of the Western Front itself. And yet, it was the energy and optimism of the indomitable American spirit that may have been most significant, as these provided the war-weary Europeans with a significant morale boost at a critical time.
