The term ‘butcher of the Somme’ in the context of the Battle of the Somme

The term thatcher of the Somme in the context of the Battle of the Somme, a significant battle means that Haig was prudent for, almost casually, sending thousands of British troops to their deaths, at the hands of the Germans, for no reason at all. The battle was meant to make the war mobile again, but it led to a longer stalemate. Douglas Haig (1861-1928) was the British commander on the horse opera front during World War I. He was later promoted to full general. With him in charge the casualties were British and Imperial casualties between July 1 and November 19, 1916 totalled approximately 420,000. On July 1st. (British + Canadian) 0830-0930= 30,000 casualties, 1200= 50,000, end of day= 67,000. There are legion(predicate) argu workforcets for and against for the title given to Haig.There were umteen arguments for the title given to Haig. galore(postnominal) people, not historians say that he really did deserve it, mainly because in that location was no- unmatchable to blame except him for their ancestors deaths. There were many reasons.For example Haig was stubborn in the sense that he kept using the resembling failing tactical maneuver until November. He had hardly any faith in his troops as he never utilize the Creeping Barrage with them as he predicted that he would kill his own men in it. Also his work of favouritism led to the many unnecessary deaths as he used the inferior method of cavalry, which led to the deaths of troops and resources for transport.In conclusion in that location were a lot of arguments in favour of the title. The fact that Haig wasted lives of men in such a way agrees with the fact of him being the despatch of the SommeHowever, there are many arguments against that the title should be given to Haig. whatsoever historians have found that many of his actions were caused due to poor communications and rancid reports, these led to his death-causing actions.For example, his messengers told him that the bombardment was go ing closely and the barbed wire had been well cut, this was not true, due to this, Haig launched an infantry attack thinking that most Germans were executed and the wire had been destroyed, this led to the 30,000 casualties within the first hour. Also, he did make it finish off that there would be a large no. of casualties and deaths so one cannot really blame him. Moreover, the manufacturers of the guns and artillery were mostly duds so it is their fault. Furthermore, many of the army were inexperienced. Additionally and most importantly, he got hardly any serve from the French, it was meant to be a Franco-British attack, and he was under a lot of insistency from t he two governments.In conclusion, many of his moves were caused from poor and wild communications as well as pressure from the governments. He alike had to make do with inferior weapons.To sum up, on one hand, Haig didnt deserve the title as most of his actions were caused by false reports and low-grade weapons. On the other hand, even though he didnt know about the non-success, he did later on and he still kept using the same failed tactics, overall, I think he did deserve it, the continuous usage of failing attacks and therefore causing more deaths for no reason is inexcusable, he did deserve it.Did Haig really deserve the title butcher of the Somme or has history judged him ill-timed
