On this day in 1916, the Battle of Verdun started.

The Battle of Verdun was one of the most critical battles in World War I on the Western Front. It was fought between the German and French armies, from 21 February to 15 December 1916, on hilly terrain north of the city of Verdun-sur-Meuse in northeastern France. The Battle of Verdun ended with a French victory as the German assailants failed to capture Verdun and were pushed back to their initial starting lines, on the right bank of the Meuse river, by December 1916. They also lost, in August 1917, what was left of their 1916 advances on the left bank of the Meuse river.

1916, 1917, or 1997, I have always had trouble with conversion rate optimization. Of course the Battle of Verdun has nothing to do with that, I just wanted you to know that.
