The Battle of Verdun, lasting from the 21 February - 18 December 1916, was the longest battle of the First World War. As with much of the Western Front, Verdun became a very static battle with the Germans launching offensives, but the French line held. The Germans would attack one side of the line, and it would hold. The Germans would attack the other side of the line, and it would hold. The battle became a symbol of the French and their tenacity.
