Gary Sheffield delivers his lecture "1918: Was Douglas Haig 'The Accidental Victor' of the First World War?"
The idea of Douglas Haig as an "accidental victor" in World War I is a complex one, debated by historians. While he led the British forces to victory in 1918, particularly during the "Hundred Days Offensive," his earlier leadership, particularly at the Somme and Passchendaele, is heavily criticized for high casualties. Some argue that his later successes were a result of improved tactics and a unified Allied command, rather than a predetermined plan.
This lecture was given by WFA Vice President Professor Gary Sheffield at the WFA's 2010 AGM
