Calais Conference

 * ... that the failure of the Calais Conference set back the implementation of a unified command for Allied Forces on the Western Front of World War I by more than a year? "If anything by spreading mistrust the Calais Conference set back establishment of unity of Allied Command ... unity of command was realized only in the crisis situation brought on by the Ludendorff offensive in Spring 1918" (page 249)
 * ALT1:... that in 1917, British Prime Minister David Lloyd George agreed to bring British forces under French command without the knowledge of senior British generals? "Lloyd George obtained the British war cabinet's approval for his plan to place Nivelle in supreme command" ... "Nivelle, who expressed surprise that the British were unaware of a proposal their prime minister had suggested a fortnight earlier" (page 156)
 * ALT2:... that the full implementation of the Calais Conference proposals  was thwarted by the threatened resignations of Field Marshal Douglas Haig and General Sir William Robertson? "For Haig and Robertson to threaten resignation was the nuclear option," Sheffield says. It was, in effect, a threat to bring down the government. Lloyd George was forced to back down"" (The Guardian)
