The Battle of Verdun that occurred during World War I is considered to be the longest battle that has occurred. This started on February 21, 1916, and ended on December 15, 1916. It may not seem like a long time, especially since it did not last for years, but it is still very long, especially when compared to the other battles that have occurred during the modern times.

The main goal of this battle is to ensure that Germany will be able to fight the French army before they grow bigger in number. The German Chief of the General Staff decided that they need to choose a popular target, and they have decided on the French front so that the battle will become significant. In the end, the plan of the German Chief has failed.
