What was the significance of the battle of Somme, and how did this battle compare and contrast to the Battle of Yalu River?
I'm interested in learning about the Battle of Somme. Can you tell me more about its significance and how it compares to the Battle of Yalu River?
The Battle of Somme was a major battle of World War I fought between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers. The battle lasted from July 1 to November 18, 1916, and resulted in over one million casualties. The goals of the battle were to relieve pressure on the French army at Verdun, and to weaken the German army by attrition. In contrast, the Battle of Yalu River was fought between the Chinese Qing Dynasty and Imperial Japan in 1894 and was part of the First Sino-Japanese War.
