Which WWI battles resulted in hundreds of thousands of people killed?
Just curious.

The battle of Verdun in 1916 was a real slauter. French casualties during
the battle were estimated at 550,000 with German losses set at 434,000, half
of the total being fatalities. The only real effect of the battle was the
irrevocable wounding of both armies. No tactical or strategic advantage had
been gained by either side.
