The fact that Germany, France and Britain had declared war on each other (WWI). The battle of the Somme was the battle in which France and Britain finally brought Germany's advance to a standstill. After that, it would still take 2 years, plus the intervention of the US, to defeat Germany in 1918.

What were the results in the battle of the Somme?

The idea behind the battle of the Somme was for the British to barrage (bombard with bombs and missiles) the German trenches. The British (and probably French) thought all the German soldiers would die and it would be an easy takeover. However the Germans simply went into their burrow like structures underground and mostly survived. The British simply walked over no mans land anticipating an easy capture and were mowed down by machine gun fire. 20000 British soldiers died in the first day.
