The Bloodiest Battle in American History You've Never Heard Of
The single bloodiest battle in American history was not Gettysburg, not D-Day, not the Bulge. It was fought in the last seven weeks of the First World War, it killed around 26,000 Americans, and most Americans have never even heard its name.
