Where was trench warfare primarily used?

The Western Front (in France and Belgium) where both sides were very evenly matched, and the defense proved much stronger than the offense. On other fronts in World War 1, trench warfare was not necessary.


Why was so much of World War 1 dominated by trench warfare?

World War I was dominated by trench warfare for one reason: it was effective in stopping the enemy's attacks. That is to say, defensive technology and tactics were, during this conflict, far more effective than offensive technology and tactics. It would not be until World War II that offensive developments broke through the trench-warfare deadlock.


Impact of trench warfare?

In the context of World War I, the long-term impact of trench warfare was the extension of the conflict into more than four years of savage, costly war. Quite contrary to the expectations of many people on both sides of the war when it erupted in 1914, the war was not quickly won. The deadly effectiveness of the trenches was one of the primary reasons for this fact.


What are trenches?

A trench is a hole that is much longer than it is wide, a narrow excavation. The usual applications of the term are: - the trenches used as manned fortifications, as in World War II - deep underwater chasms that typically mark the subduction of oceanic plates


What was the 'race to the sea'?

Before the days of trench warfare in WWI, both sides tried to outflank each other and this was termed the "race to the sea." It was a series of battles that began in Champange, France in 1914 and ended in Nieuwpoort, Belgium. The Race to the Sea was a name given to a period of World War I when, on the Western Front, the two sides were still engaged in mobile warfare. With the German advance stalled at the First Battle of the Marne, the opponents continually attempted to outflank each other through north-eastern France. This process brought the forces back to positions prepared under British Admiralty guidance, on the North coast in Western Belgium. The nature of operations then changed to trench warfare, which is very large scale siege warfare. This produced a continuous front line of trench fortifications more than two hundred miles long, which by the following Spring extended from the coast to the Swiss border.
