The Battle of Amiens took place from August 8 to August 12, 1918, during World War I. It was a significant offensive launched by the Allied Forces, primarily involving British, Australian, Canadian, and French troops, against the German Army. This battle marked the beginning of the Hundred Days Offensive, which aimed to push back German forces and ultimately led to the end of the war. The battle was notable for its use of combined arms tactics, integrating infantry, tanks, and aircraft effectively. The successful surprise attack resulted in substantial territorial gains for the Allies and demonstrated the effectiveness of modern warfare strategies, contributing to the eventual defeat of Germany.
