This is how I like my history taught. Factual & without childish, jingoistic, nationalistic bluster.

Any lecture on the end of the war without mentioning John Monash is not complete. There were many factors behind the Germans giving up but the 8th of Amiens campaign was the start, it was the "black day of the german army" after the first 3 days Monash called all the other allied commanders and taught them the lessons of teh battle and then they went back and had highly successful attacks.

This lecture series is brilliant. Thanks

Excellent analysis, and a reminder that "The Balance of Terror" began long before the Cold War, from the betrayal of a personal/local Mutual Understanding, to a political conflict based on slogan-isms and private knowledge of characteristic human behavior. Democracy is an expansion of private knowledge and responsibility to the larger groupings, but it is difficult to maintain/sustain against deliberate ignorance(?).

You left out the main reason for the war's ending. The Spanish Flu.
