Can you tell me about the significance of the battle of Somme?
The battle of Somme was a major battle fought between the British and French soldiers against the German Empire during WWI. It lasted from July 1 to November 18, 1916 and it had the highest number of casualties with more than one million people being killed, wounded, or missing in action. The battle was significant because it marked an important turning point in the war and it was the first time the British army used tanks in a large scale.
