it was the cause of the battle of the somme which was the bloodiest first day in British history, the battle of verdun was going badly for the allies so Haig decided to divert the Gemans and releive the pressure on verdun, which it did but created lot of casulaties on the first day, the worst in history The battle of Verdun was simply a German derived strategy to bleed the French army dry.

What triggered the battle of verdun?

The Battle of Verdun, which began in February 1916, was triggered by Germany's strategic aim to bleed France white, inflicting heavy casualties and forcing a decisive victory. The Germans selected Verdun due to its symbolic importance to the French and its strategic location. They believed that a prolonged engagement would exhaust French resources and morale, leading to a collapse. The battle quickly became one of the longest and costliest in World War I, symbolizing the horrors of trench warfare.

What is the meaning of 'bleed France white'?

In World War I, the Germans used the tactic of attrition in order to eliminate France from the war. Attrition is the basic concept of fighting your enemy to wear down their forces until they have no more soldiers left. To bleed France white was the act of killing enough French soldiers (blood=red) so that France would have no choice to surrender (surrender=white), referring to the act of bleeding a body until it turned white from blood loss.


Do you bleed from the mouth during a heart attack?

Not from the heart attack itself. In a heart attack, the heart is deprived of oxygen from the blockage of a coronary artery. This does not usually cause bleeding, but it does cause the death of the muscle cells if they don't get oxygen.

What country suffered the most economically physically and emotionally as a result of world war 1?

Germany did, thats partially why they went to war again and started WW2, to get their country an pride back ^sorry but I dont agree with this puerile answer, the very fact that Germany was the aggressor somewhat negates their claim as 'victim' . I would argue that France suffered more than anyone during ww1 , most of the battles were fought on French soil. This led to whole swathes of the country being 'demolished' . Also, part of the German battle plan was to 'bleed France white' of men. So France suffered the most
