Both resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties despite little territory changing hands
The Battle of Verdun, fought from February to December 1916, was primarily characterized by its focus on attrition, with the aim of exhausting French forces and symbolizing national resolve, leading to massive casualties on both sides. In contrast, the Battle of the Somme, launched in July 1916, aimed to relieve pressure on Verdun and featured a significant use of artillery and a more coordinated offensive strategy, resulting in one of the bloodiest days in British military history. While both battles exemplified the horrors of trench warfare, Verdun is often seen as a battle of endurance, whereas the Somme was marked by its scale and the introduction of new tactics.
