What type of warfare was used along the western front of world war 1?
WWI used trench warfare. This is where each side dug miles and miles of trenches (in France here). Then each side would try to gain an advantage. charges of a section of the army, artillery, snipers, machine gunners, later bombs from aircraft barbed wire (takes time to get through, get caught on, blown to bits by a machine gun while trying to free yourself) protected the trenches as well as sandbags (absorbed bullets, easy to make walls with) for more look it up on wikipedia enjoy :)

Disease occurred and spread mainly because the conditions of the trenches were so poor that health and hygiene were out of the question. This means that the soldiers were all vulnerable to death, not just from enemy gunfire, but from disease aswell.
What did trench warfare cause on the western front?
well in most cases men were damaged after experiencing the horrors on the western front (i.e Passchendale & the Somme). Thousands of men had lost freinds in battalions and so was even more personal to watch a fellow soldier die. On the western front in particular, as many bloody battles took place on the border of France. Many men committed suicide after experiencing these horrors. It was said some men shot themselves in the foot with their fingers crossed they wouldn't be killed by their own bullet and could be saved and sent home.

How were the trenches organised Include a plan of a trench and explain what the different parts were used for?
Trench warfare is a form of occupied fighting lines, consisting largely of trenches, in which troops are largely immune to the enemy's small arms fire and are substantially sheltered from artillery. It has become a byword for arriving warfare, for stalemate in conflict, with a slow wearing down of opposing forces. Trench warfare occurred when a military revolution in firepower was not matched by similar advances in mobility, resulting in a grueling form of warfare in which the defense held the advantage. In WWI, both sides constructed elaborate trench and dugout systems opposing each other along a front, protected from assault by barbed wire. The area between opposing trench lines (known as "no mans land") was fully exposed to artillery fire from both sides. Attacks, even if successful, often sustained severe casualties as a matter of course.
