American soldiers and supplies poured into Europe's battleground and halted the fierce German offensives of 1918. The Allied counterattacks dealt a severe blow to the German resistance and morale. As their German partners were being pushed steadily back, Bulgaria and Turkey saw no hope for victory and asked for peace. Austria-Hungary split into two separate countries when a peaceful revolution ended that empire. Its allies retreating from the war, Germany foresaw the inevitable invasion of its homeland. Germany signed an armistice on November 11, 1918, following several days of negotiations.
