The Battle of Somme was a major battle of the First World War fought by the armies of the British and French empires against the German Empire. It was one of the bloodiest battles in human history, with over one million casualties. The battle lasted from 1 July to 18 November 1916, and aimed to achieve a breakthrough of the German defenses on the Western Front. However, the battle ended in a stalemate, and neither side could gain a significant advantage.
