None of the provided statements about the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) are true.
Were true during World war1
The first statement can be considered true. The American Expeditionary Force (AEF) played a significant role in breaking the stalemate on the Western Front and turning the tide of the war in favor of the Allies.
The second statement is also true. The AEF arrived relatively late in the war, with the first American troops landing in Europe in June 1917. As a result, they saw less combat compared to the British and French forces who had been fighting for several years.
The third statement is not true. While the AEF faced challenges and had a learning curve during their initial engagements, they quickly adapted to the tactics of trench warfare and became an effective fighting force.
The fourth statement is partly true. The AEF did receive support from British and French troops, particularly in terms of artillery and logistical support. However, the AEF also operated independently and made significant contributions to the war effort on its own.
