21 February - July 1916
Battle of
Verdun
In February 1916,
France and Germany
began one of the most
devastating
battles
of the First World War
During 10 months
of fighting
at Verdun,
around 800,000 men
were
killed, wounded
or were declared
missing.
In France, the battle
became synonymous
with the horrors of war
on
the Western Front.

on Feb. 21, 1916,
1,200 German artillery
pieces
began firing on French
positions around Verdun,
the ancient fortress town
on the Meuse River
in
eastern France.
It was the middle
of World
War I ,
and the fighting
all along
the Western Front
that ran between
the Channel
and the Alps
had settled
into a static
confrontation
of men, planes and guns
—
guns, above all.
That day the Germans
dropped
a million shells
onto the forts, forests
and
ravines around Verdun,
and in the 10 months
that
followed,
60 million more
would fall
in the area.
By then the French
had
stopped the German advance
and even recovered most
of
the terrain they had lost,
reduced by then to a lunar
landscape
bereft of vegetable or
animal life.
And 300,000 men had died.

fell just at
Verdun
