The Front.
Trenches in WWI extended about 400 miles.
Not exclusively. The British Army always held the northernmost end of the Allied line in France, and at the extreme northern end a tiny slice of Belgium. The British generally held from 50-70 miles of the trenches, which were in the part of France called Flanders. So just about all British troops killed in the war died in some part of Flanders.
I would say mostly in France. France was practically in ruins after the Germans left, and the Germans' main goal (Schiefflen Plan) was to hold off Russia (Not hard since they were also fighting a civil war) long enough to destroy France. The Germans fought until they were about 50 miles from Paris, then they were defeated in the Second Battle of the Marne (turning point for WWI actually). The war was fought in many places, indeed, but I would think France was the main battleground. -K --- WWI was fought in many places, including African colonies, Sinai-Palestine, France, Belgium, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey (then the Ottoman Empire) and Samoa (in the Pacific, then a German colony). World War One was fought as trench warfare the trenches stretched right across the German fronts. from belgium down to Switzerland and across the eastern front. these trenches were such good defensive posts that a 4 year stalemate broke out on the western front this ultimately was where the war was won in 1918. in summary, most of the fighting took place around the borders of the central powers in Europe
A lack of trenches. Trench warfare was obsolete by world war two because of the advent of more powerful tanks and aircraft among other weapons. Though troops did entrench at times generally to increase the odds of survival on case of artillery attacks and frontal assaults there were never again miles of trenches as in WWI.
The Front.
1000 miles
From Calais,France to Dover,England, its around 26 miles.
1000 miles
Trenches in WWI extended about 400 miles.
The Huang He, or Yellow River.
21 miles, or 34 kilometers. This is at the shortest point across.
the trenches were not easy to build simply because it took months and months to dig and lay it all out because they wanted the trenches to go for miles and miles on end. >.<
The battlefields of the Western Front are located along a 450 mile stretch and run across many different types of ground. The northern end of the front began on the sandy dunes of the Belgian coast. It continued south through northern France then east through the provinces of Lorraine and Alsace, both then occupied by Imperial Germany, finally terminating on the Swiss border in the south.Hope it helps! :)Source:http://www.greatwar.co.uk/places/ww1-western-front.htm
It is at the northern tip of France, very close to the border with Belgium, and at one of the closest points between France and England, at about 27 miles or 43 kilometres.
The length of the Yellow River or Huang He is approximately 3,395 miles (5,464 km)
