We will know who won based on the number of casualties.]]> 2023-01-24 16:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/suny33/9j1beexwa7piqu66/wish/2454953303 suny33 https://padlet.com/suny33/9j1beexwa7piqu66/wish/2454989948 There were many events of the battle including the Battle of Bazentine Ridge, which was an attack that was made to weaken the German's second defensive position, France took that one successfully. Then was the battle of Fromelles which was a France-planned attack to also cut German's defense, but backfired and ended up with Germany taking over, but the most crucial battle was on the first day, with over 60,000+ bloody bodies and casualties over the battlefield with a German victory, one of the bloodiest days in history.]]> 2023-01-24 16:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/suny33/9j1beexwa7piqu66/wish/2454989948 suny33 https://padlet.com/suny33/9j1beexwa7piqu66/wish/2454993808 Although the winner wasn't really declared since France and the British couldn't pass through the German's defense and were forced to halt, German also lost most battles of the Somme and lost over 5 hundred thousand soldiers, over 1 hundred thousand British and France soldiers losses.

There were over a million casualties in total

Most British soldiers weren't real soldiers, they were a part of a volunteer group consisting of farmers and workers.

The battle of Somme was the largest battle before world war 1 and some call it the bloodiest battle of history
