France lost an awful lot of men in WW1, however they could not do it alone. The allies almost lost the war with the Ludendorf offensive in spring 1918, however the USA saved the day when the expeditionary force got to two million soldiers in the summer of 1918.

Part of the original plan was to first win in the west, in order to avoid fighting a war on two fronts at the same time.
