Answer:
True. The stalemate of 1916 during World War I resulted in massive offensives by each side as they sought to break through the enemy lines and gain an advantage. The most famous of these offensives was the Battle of the Somme, launched by the Allied forces on July 1, 1916, which resulted in over one million casualties on both sides. The stalemate continued for much of the war, with both sides launching large-scale offensives that often resulted in heavy losses but little territorial gain. It was not until the entry of the United States into the war in 1917, combined with the exhaustion of the German forces, that the stalemate began to break and the war moved towards a conclusion.
