About
History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Battle of Verdun to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
The Battle of Verdun was planned by German General Erich von Falkenhayn, who wanted to weaken the French army by causing heavy casualties. He believed that the British army, combined with the French army, could severely impact the outcome of the war. The other allies of the British were the Italian and the Russian armies. By then Russia had already been immobilized, and Italy was unlikely to cause any serious threat to the Central powers. That left out France and eliminating the French army would create an advantage for the Germans. Through the battle at Verdun, Falkenhayn wanted to "bleed France white."
The Battle of Verdun became a symbol of the horrors of trench warfare and the destructiveness of war. It brought the armies of both sides to the brink of collapse. Several French villages were completely destroyed and remain uninhabitable to this date.
