Battle Of Chateau Thierry (1918)The Battle of Chateau Thierry was fought on July 18, 1918. It was a battle in World War I. On the morning of July 18, 1918, the French and American forces between Fontenoy and Chateau Thierry launched an assault against the German positions. This assault on a 40 km wide front was the first for over a year. The American army played the larger role fighting for the regions around Soissons and Chateau Thierry. This assault was a reaction on an attack by the German forces on July 15. The allied forces had managed to keep their plans a secret, and their attack at 4:45 in the morning took the Germans by surprise. External links Chateau Thierry
