Your knees and hips are your largest joints. They support your body's weight and must work in close coordination to provide the mobility most people take for granted, until injury, arthritis, or other problems interfere.
The Battle of Verdun was one of the longest and bloodiest battles in human history, taking place during World War I. The battle was between German and French forces and took place from February 21, 1916 to December 18, 1916. The location was around the city of Verdun-sur-Meuse in the northeastern part of France. By the end of the battle, more than 250,000 people died and more than a million people were wounded.
The Battle of Verdun in 1916 was the longest single battle of World War One. The casualties from Verdun and the impact the battle had on the French Army was a primary reason for the British starting the Battle of the Somme in July 1916 in an effort to take German pressure off of the French at Verdun. The Battle of Verdun started on February 21st 1916 and ended on December 16th in 1916. It was to make General Philippe PÃ©tain a hero in France. The attack on Verdun (the Germans code-named it âJudgmentâ) came about because of a plan by the German Chief of General Staff, von Falkenhayn.
