Explanation:

The Battle of the Somme, otherwise called the Somme Offensive, was one of the biggest battles of the First World War.

Battled between July 1 and November 1, 1916, close to the Somme River in France, it was likewise one of the bloodiest military fights ever. On the main day alone, the British endured in excess of 57,000 losses, and before the finish of the battle the Allies and Central Powers would lose more than 1.5 million men.
