It depends...

Some people say that it was a complete disaster, as many lives were lost, mainly because of the poor leadership of Douglas Haig.

But some people would say that although many people died, that is just a natural part of a battle, and that because of this, people learnt a lot more about how to fight a battle more successfully.

Does anyone agree the battle of the somme didnt go wrong?

It was the job of Field Marshall Hague to stop release the constant pressure of the french from the Germans at Verdun. Verdun was a very important place because of it's geographical position. By attacking at the Somme the GGermans moved up the line to the Somme which relieved the pressure at Verdun. So as Hague relieved the pressure off the french at Verdun, he had completed his mission objective. Despite the heavy casualties, he was doing his job. I personally think that it was terrible, and he wasn't very clever though....
