The Hundred Days Offensive began with which battle?

• A. Amiens
• B. Ypres
• C. Vimy Ridge
• D. Passchendaele

Answer: (A)

The question checks your knowledge of where the Allied push that started the end of the war began. The Hundred Days Offensive kicked off with the Battle of Amiens in August 1918. This battle was notable for its coordinated use of surprise tactics, combined arms, and rapid gains, with infantry supported by tanks, artillery, and air power. The success at Amiens broke the momentum of the German defenses and set off a rapid Allied advance that continued through the autumn, leading toward the Armistice in November. Other famous battles listed—Ypres, Vimy Ridge, and Passchendaele—occurred in 1917 and did not inaugurate the final Allied offensive in 1918.
