Abstract
This paper discusses the architectural development and the contexts of the American monuments built by the American Battle Monument Commission (ABMC) after both World Wars. The influence of the ABMC of architect Paul Cret and the relatively remarkable building style of “Stripped Classicism” are highlighted.
