The World War I offensive, known as the "Somme Offensive," derives its name from the Somme River in northern France. The battle, which took place from July to November 1916, was intended to relieve pressure on French forces at Verdun and to inflict significant casualties on the German army. The name reflects the geographic location where the intense and brutal fighting occurred.
