Thesis The Battle of Verdun was the longest and bloodiest battle of World War 1 ( February 21 - December 18, 1916 ). The casualties sustained were around 400,000 French and 350,000 German. After 400,000 French casualties, the British entered the war at the battle of Somme, in effort to take German pressure off of the French.

Journal from Soldier Bombardments stretched over 40 kilometres. Verdun is so heavily bombarded that the entire civilian population is evacuated. “The bombardment is the most horrible thus far; a terrible inferno. The muzzling fire from the German guns is one uninterrupted sea of fire” “The bombardment was of such force that it took reinforcement troops sometimes 8 hours to move 3 kilometres ahead. The French trenches are completely pulverised, phone lines and artillery destroyed entirely. Men are ripped to pieces, are buried underneath the earth or disappear into thin air when hit. Ancient trees are completely uprooted; human remains are hanging in the branches. It seems like the world is coming to an end. This horrible bombardment lasts more than 9 long hours.”

Germany Erich Von Falkenhayn = general of the German army German Beliefs: England is main enemy To destroy Britain the Germans must go through France Key to winning is taking out France on the western front (instead of Russia on the east) Strategies: War of attrition Wear out the enemy through small-scale attacks Kill as many French as possible Done through bombardments

Verdun French Fortress along Meuse River Next to German communication line Why Germany was able to use so much artillery and get supplies for bombarding Verdun French historic post The defense of this French fortress on the Meuse was believed to be vital to France's winning the war Also believed that it had to be held at all costs

Why Germany wanted Verdun Was apart of their Schlieffen plan Believed that France would fall after taking Verdun. After france fell the people of france would just go to england. Germanys goal was to beat england

Significance The defence of the French fortress of Verdun was considered to be vital to France winning the war due to its historic legacy, the Germans believed that the French would fight till the very last man.

Significance 2 Philippe Petain = French General Very inspiring- pushed the soldiers to keep fighting against the Germans. “Ils ne passeront pas” - They shall not pass After battle he was regarded a hero in France Led to a moral boost and support for the war in France
