How does this compare to the Battle of Borodino?
The Battle of Borodino was a significant battle fought between the French army of Napoleon and the Russian army of Kutuzov during the Napoleonic Wars in 1812. It was fought with similar objectives as the Battle of Somme - to break the enemy lines and force a decisive outcome in the war. However, the Battle of Borodino was more brutal and resulted in over 70,000 casualties, with the Russians ultimately retreating from the battlefield.
