-true

-true
-true
-that was the official reason given but the British may have done it because they didn't want to see Germany dominate Europe

you could mention that it was the first war to use poison gas or that it marked the end for most of the great Monarchies of Europe (German, Austro-Hungarian, Russian) also that its aftermath set the ground for the rise of Communism and Facism

The battle of the Somme

fought from 1 July to 18 November 1916, was among the largest battles of the First World War. With more than 1.5 million casualties, it is also one of the bloodiest military operations recorded.
The battle is best remembered for its first day, 1 July 1916, on which the British suffered 57,470 casualties, including 19,240 dead—the bloodiest day in the history of the British Army. For the first time, the home front in the United Kingdom was exposed to the horrors of modern war with the release in August of the propaganda film The Battle of the Somme, which used footage from the first days of the battle. Future leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, participated in the battle."
