How a Terrible Battle Helped to Change Europe
Ninety years ago on a sunny morning in Northern France,something happened that changed Britain and Europe for ever.At half past seven on the morning of July 1,1916,whistles blew and thousands of British soldiers【51】______their positions to attack their German enemies.【52】______the end of the day,20,000 of them were dead,and another 30,000 wounded or missing.The Battle of the Somme,【53】______it is called,lasted for six months.When it ended,125,000British soldiers were dead.They had gained five kilometers of ground.
This was one of a series of great battles during the WWI. The【54】______on the Somme was staged to relieve pressure on the French,who were【55】______in a great battle of their own at a place called Verdun.By the time the battle ended,over a million French and German troops had been killed.
About 17 million people were killed in WWI.There have been wars with greater numbers of dead.But there has never been one【56】______most of the dead were concentrated in such a small area.On the Somme battlefield,two men died for every metre of space.
Local farmers working in the land still【57】______the bodies of those who died in that battle.The dead of all nations were buried in a series of giant graveyards【58】______the line of the border between France and Belgium.Relatives and descendants(后代) of those who died still【59】______these graveyards today.
It took a second great conflict before Europe was to【60】______against war itself.Twenty-eight years after the Somme battle,a liberating army of British,American and Canadian troops took【61】______France from another German invasion.More than 500,000 people were killed.New graveyards were built.
Two great conflicts across two generations helped to change the European【62】______about war.Germany,once the most warlike country in Europe,is now probably more in favor of peace than any other.One major【63】______of war in Europe was rivalry(竞争) between France and Germany.The European Union was specifically formed to【64】______that rivalry.
The last British veteran(老兵) of the Somme battle died in 2005,aged 108.And the WWI is passing out of【65】______and into history.But for anyone who wants to understand how Europeans think,it is still important to know a little about the terrible events of July 1,1916.
