how was the Somme battle similar to the Battle of Verdun?

Question

i need some help with this question please?

Answer 1

Both are known to this day to nationally symbolize loss and the absolute horrors of war; Verdun (to France and Germany) and Somme to the British.

There were over a million casualties in Verdun, and a quarter-million at the Somme.

Both battles were fought at the same time. The Battle of the Somme was intended to divert German troops from Verdun.
