The Battle of Somme was one of the 1st great offensive battles of WWI, fought between Britain, France, and Germany. On the first day, Britain had a rough time, losing more than 57,000 soldiers on the first day and didn't make a lot of progress. However, their French allies made better advances, losing less men. Artillery was a key part of the British offense, but it failed to break through the German barbed wire, failing to reach the German trenches. The Battle of Somme was an important lesson for Britain on how to and how not to launch a successful attack, also weakening the German army so they had to retreat
