The Second Battle of the Somme, which commenced on March 21, 1918, was a significant engagement during World War I, notably different from the earlier, more infamous Battle of the Somme in 1916. In this phase, German forces launched a massive offensive against the Allies on the Western Front, aiming to break through their lines. The battle showcased new tactics and technologies, including extensive use of infiltration tactics and chemical weapons. While the Germans made initial gains, Allied resilience and reinforcements ultimately halted their advance, marking a critical turning point in the war.
