Was the battle of the somme worth fighting?
No, not really. The cost was hardly justifiable in any way. The only real reason for making the attack was as a diversion for the main bloodletting of 1916, which was taking place at Verdun, between the French and the Germans. The whole idea was just to take some pressure off the French and prevent reinforcements being taken from the Somme front and sent to Verdun. After four months on the Somme all the British had gained was, in a few places, an advance of a few hundred yards and possession of some shell blasted mud. Or, as one comedian phrased it, they "moved General Haig's drinks cabinet six inches closer to Berlin".
What were the achievements at the battle of the Somme?
The main intention of the Battle of the Somme, at least at the beginning and forefront, was to relieve the beleaguered French troops that were taking terrible casualties during the Battle of Verdun, having been launched in the same year but several months earlier.This was a primarily British offensive with some French support (after all, the French were busy at Verdun). Unfortunately for the Brits, 1916 seems to have been a particularly nasty year for trench attrition warfare - that is, where two sides will simply sit in a deadlock and inflict casualties on one another to wear the other side down, as opposed to making large decisive battles - and the Battle of the Somme certainly highlighted this. The Battle of the Somme is considered one of the bloodiest and most costly military operations in human history, resulting in 1.5 million casualties and at least 400,000 combat deaths.Given that it was a British launched operation, the British were the ones making the offensive and trying to gain ground. In its efforts to draw off German troops from Verdun, it was reasonably successful. The opening order of battle proved to be a disaster, with planning gone awry and terrible miscommunication and failures, leading to the deaths of tens of thousands of men and the failure of a breakthrough. They quickly entrenched and it turned into the trench war that the Somme is renowned for.Germany did not have the manpower and the material to be able to fight a war of attrition, and so this alarmed the German high command. The British launched streams of offensives in attempts to break through, and their end result after three months and hundreds of thousands of casualties, was that they had advanced 5 miles (8 km) at the deepest point.It's important to note that the British may have lost many men, but that their losses were acceptable - the Germans were far less so. The Battle of the Somme may have proved inconclusive in its aim, but for the Germans it dealt an irreversible blow as the Germans lost many of their irreplaceable veteran troops, very much reducing their capacity to fight back.
Who lost the battle of the somme?
The British lost the Somme, because they had many more casualties the Germans did. The main reason for this is because the British artillery did not wipe out German defenses especially the barbed wire. So, when the British tried to advance the barb wire was still in place and the British were mowed down by the German machine guns.
