Reading pages 80-98

"We may have lost the battle (or two, or ten) but we've won the war."
In the reading, it was clear that the Central Powers had many more wins than the Allied Powers in the beginning of the war. They were successful in pushing back the Allies attacks, and defeated them many times. However, it was the Allied Powers that ultimately won the war. How were they able to do so when they had so many losses in the beginning?

Reading Questions pgs 102-115

I didn't completely understand question 11: "How did the world see the "do or die offense" again in WWII?"
I understand how the "do or die offensives" worked in WWI. Germany launched powerful offensives intended to uncover and penetrate weak spots in the enemy lines. However, I don't know a lot about WWII, so I don't really know the answer to the question "How did the world see the "do or die offense" again in WWII?"
