None. The battle of the Somme was in 1916, and the U.S. only did not declare war until 1917.
432,000 British soldiers were killed or wounded in the battle of the Somme. The French lost nearly 200,000 men and the Germans lost an estimated 500,000. Taken From: The Somme - From Defeat To Victory (BBC documentary from 2006)
On the first day of the battle of the Somme 18 million people were missing, dead, injured or taken prisoner this is on of the worst battle in the world. i know this because Mr kirwan told me.
how many people died at the battle of edgehill
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.
