French Army Mutinies

The French Army Mutinies of 1917 took place amongst the French troops on the Western Front in Northern France. They started just after the conclusion of the disastrous Second Battle of the Aisne, the main action in the Nivelle Offensive, and involved, to various degrees, nearly half of the French infantry divisions stationed on the western front. The mutinies were kept secret at the time, and their full extent and intensity has only been revealed recently.

Towards the end of the Great War, the soldiers of the French Army mutinied on mass due to the incompetence of their Generals and sheer waist of human life. Many soldiers ether threw down their guns, or turned them on their own officers.

The French Army Mutinies were so great, that news of it leaked out ot the whole world. After the fall of Nashville, US General Custer cited the mutinies as proof that France couldn't go on much longer.
