The Battle of Verdun was not only one of the Bloodiest Battles of the First World War, but also one of the most Bloodiest battles of the 20th century.
The Battle of Verdun lasted 11 months from the 21st of February till the 18th of December 1916. It was also one of the longest campaigns of the Great War and had one of the heaviest casualties of the war including Civilian Loss of life.
The total number of casualties during the Horrific ten months ( 9 months , 3 weeks and 6 days ) of the Battle of Verdun was 337,000 including 143,000 German and 162,440 French. Although some articles state the number of casualties is around 500,000 - 800,000 in total with numbers of 714,231 in total and France having around 337,231 and the Germans around 337,000 , around 70,000 a month. The number of body’s lost during the battle of Verdun is not enough to comprehend the amount of not only total chaos but also destruction which took place at Verdun and the surround areas mainly the northern Hills of Verdun-Sur-Meuse.

Facebook recently censored one of my history memes for '"violating our Community Standards on dangerous individuals..." I wondered what they had against Churchill and asked for a review and they admitted their mistake and allow me to keep it up. No, they didn't flag because of Churchill but the other guy.
