- Beginning with the Battle of Amiens (8–11 August 1918), the Allied victory-filled Hundred Days campaign would last for four months. The Allied forces started their own counterpunch after surviving the German Spring Offensives, and from the summer of 1918 onward, they were continuously advancing.
- Beginning with the Battle of Megiddo (19–25 September 1918), the Sinai and Palestine Campaign's final British-led offensive got underway.
