The Second Battle of the Marne, or Battle of Reims (15 July – 6 August 1918) was the last major German Spring Offensive on the Western Front during WWI. The German attack failed when an Allied counterattack led by French forces and including several hundred tanks overwhelmed the Germans on their right flank. The German defeat marked the start of the relentless Allied advance which culminated in the Armistice about 100 days later. Thus the Second Battle of the Marne can be considered as the beginning of the end of the Great War.
