Buuxi weedha soo socota: Ciidamada Badda ee Maraykanku waxay Scapa Flow u direen koox maraakiib dagaal ah si ay ugu biiraan Ciidamada Badda ee Ingiriiska, maraakiibta burburka ah waxay u direen Queenstown, Ireland, iyo maraakiibta hoostiisa mara si ay u caawiyaan ilaalinta kolonyooyinka. Dhowr guuto oo ka tirsan ciidamada badda ee Mareykanka ayaa sidoo kale loo diray Faransiiska. Ingiriiska iyo Faransiisku waxay rabeen in unugyada Maraykanku ay u adeegsadaan sidii ay u xoojin lahaayeen ciidamadooda horay ugu jiray khadadka dagaalka iyo in aysan ku khasaarin maraakiibta yar yar keenista sahayda. Janaraal John J. Pershing, oo ah taliyaha ciidamada American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), ayaa diiday inuu kala diro cutubyada Mareykanka si loogu isticmaalo qalabka wax lagu buuxiyo. Marka laga reebo, wuxuu u ogolaaday guutooyinka dagaalka ee Afrikaanka-Mareykanka in loo isticmaalo qeybaha Faransiiska. Harlem Hellfighters waxay ku dagaalameen qeyb ka mid ah qeybta 16-aad ee Faransiiska, waxayna heleen qeyb ka mid ah Croix de Guerre ficilkooda Château-Thierry,
Belleau Wood, iyo Sechault. Caqiidada AEF waxay ku baaqday in la isticmaalo weerarada hore, kuwaas oo muddo dheer laga saaray Boqortooyadii Ingiriiska iyo taliyayaashii Faransiiska sababo la xiriira khasaaraha badan ee nolosha ee ka dhashay.
