The Nivelle Offensive, launched in April 1917, was significant in World War I as it aimed to break the stalemate on the Western Front through a massive infantry assault supported by artillery. However, the offensive resulted in heavy casualties and failed to achieve its objectives, leading to widespread disillusionment among French troops and contributing to mutinies within the ranks. The failure underscored the challenges of modern warfare and prompted a reevaluation of tactics, influencing subsequent military strategies for the remainder of the war. Ultimately, it highlighted the human cost of war and the limitations of leadership under extreme conditions.

During World War I, French troops famously refused to fight in the Battle of Verdun in 1916 due to the extreme conditions and heavy casualties. This reluctance was part of a broader context of mutinies and discontent among French soldiers, particularly following the 1917 Nivelle Offensive, where many felt disillusioned and demoralized by the leadership and the war's stalemate. The refusal to fight highlighted the growing fatigue and resistance among the troops amidst the grueling trench warfare.
