The only war KNOWN for "Trenches" was WW1; however, at one time or another, nearly every 20th century foot soldier ended up spending "some" time in a muddy trench. With the exceptions of the Battle at Khe Sanh, and some Firebases such as "Mary Ann" or "Ripcord", the Vietnam War was fairly mobile. That is to say, never staying in one place for very long. The Firebases, such as LZ Action, LZ Blackhawk, Mary Ann, Ripcord, English, Bastogne, Rifle, Carol, Fort Defiance, etc. were mostly BUNKERS built partially underground, then heavily sand-bagged.

Yes. Nearly all 19th and 20th century wars utilized trenches. Its just that the Great War (WWI) just so happen to use them the most and consequently became the famous for using them. A two man foxhole could be considered a trench. If occupied long enough, say for months...it would become a 3 to 4 man trench...just living in those things make them larger, due to constant digging.
