During the Battle of the Somme, which took place from July 1 to November 18, 1916, it is estimated that around 200,000 civilians died as a result of the fighting, famine, and associated hardships in the wider region. The battle primarily involved British and French forces against the German army and was one of the largest and bloodiest battles of World War I, with significant military casualties as well. The civilian toll is often overshadowed by the military losses, which exceeded 1 million combined for both sides.
