The Battle of Verdun was one of the longest and bloodiest battles of World War I. A brutal battle of attrition, Verdun cost the French an estimated 161,000 dead, 101,000 missing, and 216,000 wounded. German losses were approximately 142,000 killed and 187,000 wounded.
Verdun developed into a battle of wearing away, and, by December, each side had suffered about 350,000 casualties. By June, the French army was under heavy attack at Verdun, They hoped that this offensive on the Somme would force the Germans to withdraw troops from Verdun. The Battle of the Somme was designed to relieve the pressure on the French suffering at Verdun. Another cause for the offensive was the fact that that Allies believed that they could break through the German lines and end the war. Haig planned this offensive as a breakthrough battle.
