The Battle of the Somme
あらすじ・解説
The Battle of the Somme, fought from July to November 1916 during World War I, stands as one of the most infamous and costly battles in history. Primarily orchestrated by the British and French forces against the German Empire, the offensive aimed to alleviate pressure on the French at Verdun and achieve a breakthrough on the Western Front. The battle witnessed unprecedented devastation and human loss, with a staggering casualty count of more than one million soldiers.
The Somme offensive commenced with an extensive artillery barrage followed by a massive infantry assault along a 30-kilometer front. Despite initial optimism, the British and French forces encountered fierce German resistance, exacerbated by formidable defenses and the devastating impact of machine guns and artillery fire. Progress was slow and hard-won, marked by small territorial gains and relentless carnage.
The Battle of the Somme became a symbol of the futility and tragedy of trench warfare, underscoring the human cost of modern warfare. Its legacy endures as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made and the profound impact on the lives of countless soldiers and civilians involved in the conflict.
