It's funny how a single man's stupidy, stubborness, and ambition can get so many killed and maimed. Nivelle's arrogance was epic. The build-up was obvious - the Germans saw it coming a mile away and withdrew from the salient targeted by Nivelle's offensive. So, what does the man do when presented with these facts?

He orders the attack anyway.
