| Summary | "Current History: A Monthly Magazine of the New York Times, May 1918" by Various is a monthly periodical written during the early 20th century. This publication offers detailed accounts and analyses of significant wartime events, particularly focusing on World War I, and provides a contemporary perspective on pivotal military actions and political developments. The opening of this magazine sets the stage for one of the most intense periods of World War I, particularly highlighting the ongoing Battle of Picardy that began on March 21, 1918. It describes the scale of military engagement, noting that around four million soldiers were involved in fierce combat, with General Foch appointed as Commander in Chief of the Allied forces in response to the German offensive. The text also covers other critical topics, including the shifting political landscape due to Austria’s attempts at a separate peace with France, the participation of American forces, and the impact of conscription on British policy regarding Ireland, painting a vivid picture of the complexities and challenges faced by the Allies during this tumultuous time.
