Disaster of 1917 French Defeat Under Nivelle
A month by month account of the 1917 French collapse under General Nivelle on the Western Front. The piece notes Mivelle’s overconfident plans, the April 16 attack near Arras to the right near Quedin, and the German intelligence that foiled the assault, with Ludendorff’s forces delaying the main push and the Allies unable to penetrate deeply. The narrative frames Painleve as a wartime minister whose memoirs illuminate the strategic missteps and the resulting high casualties.
