the battle of Britain
The Battle of the Somme, fought from July to November 1916, was a significant conflict on the Western Front that ultimately contributed to a massive German retreat. Although the Allies suffered heavy casualties, the relentless pressure and the introduction of new tactics by the British forces, along with the cumulative attrition of German resources, led to a weakening of German positions. This battle, combined with others such as the Second Battle of the Marne in 1918, marked a turning point in the war, pushing German forces back and contributing to their eventual defeat.
The French fortress city that held off a massive German assault under the command of Henri Pétain was Verdun.

The battle resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, but Verdun remained under French control.
