Why were world war 1 trenches not made in a straight line?
They were not dug in straight lines, because both sides used artillery to bombard one another. If an artillery shell hit a trench in a straight line it could wipe out a lot of soldiers, as the its blast could not be contained. A trench is made in that jaggerd format because if an artillery shell hits the trench it can be stopped by the structure and walls of the trench. The explosion in a straight line can get a lot futher than if a wall is in the way. Also the structure can be complicated to confuse the enemy if they ever manage to get into the trench.

Which countries have entirely straight borders?
if you mean which countries have borders that are entirely made up of straight lines like say the state of Utah then none but if you mean which countries have borders that include at least some lines that are entirely or perfectly straight then probably all or nearly all A few examples like Papua New Guinea and Egypt do however come close to entirely straight borders Land borders are defined by border markers. These are placed by mutual agreement by the two countries and mark out the border. They can be anything from a few tens of metres apart to a few Km apart. Normally they are within sight of each other. The border is deemed to run in a straight line from on border marker to another. Most borders are therefore a large number of relatively short straight lines, and most borders are defined by straight lines. This does not apply to borders which run along rivers or lakes. in this case the border is normally the centre of the river, which is not a straight line. Note a line of latitude (xx °N or yy °S) is not a straight line.

Why do most western states have straight lines?
Many states in the Western US had their borders made along lines of latitude and longitude resulting in straight borders. This was done because the areas that became states were sparsely populated and often not entirely explored. So that a costly exploration and mapping of the borderlands to find a suitable boundary could be avoided, the people in charge of the states simply marked borders along lines they knew the existence of.
