The Kaiser came to inspect the progress of the battle. He interviewed captured British Brigadier-General Hubert Rees (GOC 150th Brigade, part of 50th Division). The Kaiser was amused to learn that he was Welsh, the same nationality as Lloyd George.
Taken completely by surprise and with their defences spread thin, the Allies were unable to stop the attack and the German army advanced through a 40 kilometres (25 mi) gap in the Allied lines. Reaching the Aisne in under six hours, the Germans smashed through eight Allied divisions on a line between Reims and Soissons, pushing the Allies back to the river Vesle and gaining an extra 15 km of territory by nightfall.
Victory seemed near for the Germans, who had captured just over 50,000 Allied soldiers and over 800 guns by 30 May 1918. But advancing within 56 kilometres (35 mi) of Paris on 3 June, the German armies were beset by numerous problems, including supply shortages, fatigue, lack of reserves and many casualties.
On 6 June 1918, following many successful Allied counter-attacks, the German advance halted on the Marne, much as the "Michael" and "Georgette" offensives had in March and April of that year.The French had suffered over 98,000 casualties and the British around 29,000. German losses were nearly as great, if not slightly heavier. Duchene was sacked by French Commander-in-Chief Philippe Petain for his poor handling of the British and French troops. The Americans had arrived and proven themselves in combat for the first time in the war.
Ludendorff, encouraged by the gains of Blücher-Yorck, launched further offensives culminating in the Second Battle of the Marne.

The Battle of Cantigny, fought May 28, 1918 was the first major American battle and offensive of World War I. The U.S. 1st Division, the most experienced of the five American divisions then in France and in reserve for the French Army near the village of Cantigny, was selected for the attack. The objective of the attack was both to reduce a small salient made by the German Army in the front lines but also to instill confidence among the French and British allies in the ability of the inexperienced American Expeditionary Force (AEF).

⇒カイザー（ドイツ皇帝）は戦闘の進捗状況を検閲するようになった。彼は捕縛された英国軍准将、ヒューバート・リーズ（第50師団の一部、第150旅団の総司令官）にインタビューした。カイザーは、彼リーズがロイド=ジョージと同じ国籍のウェールズであることを知って面白がっていた。

⇒完全に不意を突かれ、守備隊も薄く広がっていたので、連合国軍は攻撃を止めることができず、ドイツ軍は連合国軍の戦線の間の空いた40キロ（25マイル）の間隙を通って進軍していった。6時間以内でエーヌに到達すると、ドイツ軍はランスとソワソンの間の戦線に駐在する連合国軍8個師団の間を突破し、連合国軍をベスル川に押し戻し、夜が来るまでに15キロの領土を余分に確保した。
　1918年5月30日までに50,000人以上の連合国軍兵士と800丁以上の銃を攻略したドイツ軍にとっては、勝利が間近いと見えた。しかし6月3日にパリから56キロ（35マイル）地点の内側に進んだドイツ軍は、供給不足、疲労、予備軍の不足、および多くの死傷者を抱えて多くの問題に悩まされた。

⇒1918年6月6日、多くの成功を収めた連合国軍の反撃に続いて、ドイツ軍の進軍は、その年の3月と4月に、マルンの「ミヒャエル」と「ゲオルゲット」の作戦攻撃が行われたところで停止した。フランス軍は98,000人以上の、英国軍は約29,000人の死傷者を被った。それに対してドイツ軍の損失は、それより甚大とまではいかなくとも、ほとんど同じくらい大きかった。デュシェンは、英国・フランス軍隊の取り扱いがまずかったために、フランス軍のフィリップ・ペタン司令官によって解雇された。米国軍が到着し、はじめて戦闘の試験実践を披瀝した。

⇒ブリュッケル・ヨークの獲得によって活気づいたルーデンドルフは、「第2次マーンの戦い」で攻勢をさらに激化した。
　1918年5月28日の「カンティニーの戦い」は、第一次世界大戦間の米国軍との戦いにおける最初の主要攻撃であった。当時のフランス（国内）およびカンティニー近くのフランス方面軍の中にあった米国軍5個師団のうち、最も経験豊富な第1師団が攻撃のために選ばれた。この攻撃の目的は、最前線でドイツ方面軍が作った小さな突出部を減らすことだけでなく、経験の浅い米国遠征軍（AEF）の能力についてフランス・英国の同盟国軍に信頼感を浸み込ませることであった。
