On June 26, 1917, the first US troops arrived in France during World War I. Unfortunately, the soldiers arrived untrained, and lacking in both equipment and readiness to begin to fight on the western front.
The US joined the war in 1917. But they did not get significant numbers of ground troops to the Western Front until 1918.
The first pitched battle that American Troops fought in during WW1 was the German Spring Offensive of 1918 (operation Michael). The Germans wanted to win the war quickly before the presence of a number of American troops on the western front could be felt. However, the Allies suceeded in delaying the German advance long enough for the Americans to arrive. When they did arrive, American troops were used to plug the line as they arrived where the lines were thinly held or had suffered excessive casualties. Innit.

The US helped the Allied powers and supplied weapons until the entered in 1917. They fought on the western front with France and Great Britain. After Russia left the war, then Germany could move all there troops to the western front. It became much harder to hold.

I don't think it says who was the first soldier to arrive in Europe in 1942 but the first US troops arrived in Northern Ireland on January 26 1942.
No, they arrived primarily in France, where the front lines were. Some US forces were in Siberia during the time, as well, although their purpose wasn't necessarily related to the war.
in my opinion, what really broke the stalemate was when the US joined. fresh new troops for the Allies gave them an advantage over the tired Central Powers.

Eisenhower was the Supreme Allied Commander for the western allies. Stalin took care of the main front; the Russian Front.
i would say the US entry into the war was the most important factor in ending the stalemate on the Western Front in WW1. This is because they brought thousands of troops with them and extra machinery and supplies. If the US did not intervene it would have been much harder for England to win the war and would have taken much, much longer. hope this helps... :)
Well before any US troops were sent to Vietnam. The Korean Conflict kicked off in 1950, and the ceasefire was signed in 1953 (although the conflict remains ongoing). The first American troops didn't arrive in Vietnam until 1954.
There was a large area of land that the British soldiers tried to take from the German soldiers. No one could advance on either side, the soldiers and their commanders got tired of even trying. A newspaper reported named this the Western Front. The US troops, among others, were sent in to break this stalemate, and to move against the Germans. This they did, thanks to General Pershing, by ignoring the stalled British Army, and going around the Western Front with all its trenches.
