End of the battle of verdun
After a 10 months of back and fourth attacks that happened the longest battle of ww1 ended on the 18th of december 1916. The french army lost arounf 550,000 men in this battle and the german army suffered around 434,000 casualties with about half of those bieng death. It was a very bad war for both countried but the french were said to be victorious. In my opinion both sides did not win as they both lost many soldiers and had numerous injuries.
