WW1 Summary Part 8: The Year of Battles Comes to an End

With the end of the Battle of Verdun, the year 1916 ends. A battle that was described as "World War 1 in a microcosm" and has been remembered in infamy ever since. Late 1916 also brings political shake-ups, an end to the Romanian campaign and new action in the Middle East. And still no end in sight.
