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....

Who won the Battle of Verdun?
During World War I, Germans attacked the French stronghold of Verdun in February 1916. Verdun was not very important strategically, but it soon became a symbol of France's strength and was defended as much as possible. Germany's goal was not really to take the city, but rather to break French morale.One million shells were fired on the first day of battle, starting a ten-month struggle of back-and-forth fighting offensives and counteroffensives of a very ferocious nature. The armies pounded each other with artillery. The Germans relied on a large team of horses (7000 of which were killed in a single day) to drag their guns through the muddy, rough terrain. The French also moved supplies and troops into Verdun non-stop (12000 delivery trucks were employed for service, as well as 259 out of the 330 regiments of French army). By the end of June, over 400,000 French and German soldiers were dead.In the end, the advantage fell to the French for surviving. But, this certainly was not a glorious victory for France because they suffered as badly as they bled the Germans. In a sense, Verdun was a major loss for both sides, but it was still looked upon as a French victory.
