The battle of the somme finished because the weather started to break out. There was no way that the battle was going to carry on and it was obvious it had to end.
By September, heavy rain started to break out and the ground began to turn into thick mud. However, the battle of somme didn't end there, it still dragged on until November. By then the ground was so muddy that even getting supplies to the front line was practically impossible. Nothing could move and it was difficult to tell whether there had been any losers or winners. People were so sure that the battle of somme had been a complete waste with over 1 million deaths on both sides and the Germans losing 500,000 soldiers.
