ShortSummary	The final year of the war, thousands of soldiers returned with limbs missing, more with facial injuries, grieving parents held seances in the hope of contacting their dead sons. Britain was on the brink of defeat. The Germans launched their "Spring Offensive" that ultimately they could not maintain with a starving and demoralized homeland in contrast to Britain's well organized supply chain. In August with American reinforcements a huge force was unleashed on the Germans which within a hundred days the German's agreed an armistice. The war had changed Britain forever, nine out of ten men returned with the greatest losses in proportion among the upper classes which led to social change, with votes for some women, full employment benefitting the poorest in society and leaving the country more equal and more democratic. (en) Britain was dependent on imported food and Germany attempted to starve Britain into submission by submarine blockade. Farms, in crisis with their men and horses on the frontline, were worked by 84,000 disabled soldiers, 30,000 German prisoners of war and over 250,000 women. To assist this the government ordered every scrap of land be turned over to allotments tended by the elderly, children and women. In January 1918 rationing was introduced. Women filled every job vacated by enlisted men including the police. (en) The sinking of the Lusitania brought home the nature of modern warfare and Britain's unpreparedness. Lord Kitchener was discredited and replaced by David Lloyd George who turned the country into a war machine with women in the factories to make bombs and bullets while the men were sent to the frontline.
