In 1916, the Battle of Verdun between the French and Germans may have been the most demanding battle in world history.  The struggle started when the Germans attacked [[Verdun]], France, a city surrounded by a ring of underground forts.  At least 220,000 soldiers died, and at least 480,000 were wounded in this 10-month struggle that accomplished nothing.  At the end the front lines were in nearly the same locations as at the beginning.
