Thats true but you make them sounds like they came like the mysterious stranger riding on his horse with guns blazing clearing out all opposition. On fact is that America wasn't the heroes of World War I, they entered for selfish reasons and that is a well documented fact.
sorry it wasn't you that maked it sound in that way my bad.
No, the surplus and addition of troops coming to the Western front would have overtaken the Entente powers, and it was the American troops entering the war that offset that; it's as simple as that.
No it wouldn't what make you think that a war that have raged for about 3 years without anyone gaining a advantage no matter what methods was utilized would suddenly change because of the extra men from the Ost Front? Fact is that it wouldn't. The western front would have been pushed back but so slowly that it would probably be years before the war would have ended and at that point of time the home front for the germans would already have cracked, it was always just a matter of time.
