Verdun and the Somme resulted in Germany retreating to a narrower front to reduce their casualties..The German army could not sustain the amount of casualties although they in fact lost less than the combined losses of Britain and France.

A top German general said that these battles were the bloody graveyards of the German army...by the end of WW1 twenty nine countries including the USA were at war with Germany.

Although the casualties on the allied sides were huge the Somme and Verdun battles could be claimed as strategic victories.
