The Battle of Somme started with a heavy bang on July 1 and and ended on November 18, 1916 in the somme Department of France, on both banks of the River Somme. There is controversy who won that battle but the losses on both sides were very heavy. In this battle, Britain introduced the tank as a new weapon of war.
