Britain's main reason for attacking at the Somme in 1916 was to relieve pressure on French forces at Verdun and to break through German defenses along the Western Front. The offensive aimed to inflict significant casualties on the German army, thereby weakening its fighting capability. Additionally, it was intended to demonstrate the strength of the Allied forces and boost morale among troops and civilians alike. Ultimately, the battle became one of the bloodiest in history, highlighting the horrors of trench warfare.

Was the battle of the somme worth fighting?
No, not really. The cost was hardly justifiable in any way. The only real reason for making the attack was as a diversion for the main bloodletting of 1916, which was taking place at Verdun, between the French and the Germans. The whole idea was just to take some pressure off the French and prevent reinforcements being taken from the Somme front and sent to Verdun. After four months on the Somme all the British had gained was, in a few places, an advance of a few hundred yards and possession of some shell blasted mud. Or, as one comedian phrased it, they "moved General Haig's drinks cabinet six inches closer to Berlin".
Who lost the battle of the somme?
The British lost the Somme, because they had many more casualties the Germans did. The main reason for this is because the British artillery did not wipe out German defenses especially the barbed wire. So, when the British tried to advance the barb wire was still in place and the British were mowed down by the German machine guns.
