• Battle of Verdun: German Localized Attacks As part of the prolonged Battle of Verdun, German forces launched targeted attacks against French positions near Cumières-le-Mort-Homme, France.

On this day, Joseph Plunkett, Michael O'Hanrahan, Edward Daly, and Willie Pearse were executed, marking a controversial period of British suppression of Irish nationalist movements.
