Verdun

 

 

main

 

An ancient city located in northeastern France, dating from Gaulish times. It was here that the treaty partitioning the Frankish Empire into three parts and thereby causing the emergence of France (the West Franks) and Germany (the East Franks) was signed, in 843. Verdun is best known in modern times as the district in which some of the heaviest fighting during World War I took place - there are more than 70 cemetaries in the immediate area, both Allied and German.
