The Western Front during World War 1 stretched from the North Sea to the Swiss Frontier with France.
Both sides dug themselves in ending any possible chance of a quick war; this caused a stalemate, which was to last for most of the war. Over 200,000 men died in the trenches of WW1, most of who died in battle, but many died from disease and infections brought on by the unsanitary conditions

∙ 13y agoWWI is famous for trench warfare, but it has been used in other conflicts like the US Civil War, the Boer War and Vietnam.
actually trench warfare was used in the French wars in IndoChina, in which Vietnam gained its independence from France. The most famous battle where it was used was the battle of Dien Bien Phu where Vietnamese solders fired down on entrenched French soldiers with artillery guns.

Where were most of the battles?
trenches across the French countryside and Belgium.
What wire was used to protect ww1 trenches?
Barbed wire was used to protect the trenches.
In world war 1 was it the first time they used trenches?
No. Trenches were used in wars as far back as history is recorded. Trenches were used in the Revolutionary war in the US. Some of these trenches can still be seen at the scene of some battlefields such as Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and Yorktown Virginia.
What is a reserve trench?
Reserve trenches were used as supplies for the trenches out the front. In world war one, they had come up with a technique of hiding in trenches before they fight. To do this properly, they had made them zig-zags. The trenches on the front line were where the soldiers would fight from. Reserve trenches were used in case these people had anything happen to them and they needed to use more trenches and more men. Throughout the war, the conditions of the front line trenches became worse as the communication and reserve trenches improved. I hope that helped :)

How were World War 1 battles typically fought?
In the early parts of WW1 battles were fought as they always had been, open area, artillary, and military formations; Trech warfare was a grace in the later months as it gave cover to soldiers and allowed for stand stills (ties) in battles. later in the war chemical warfare was incorperated, however it was quickly dispatched with as it violated the "rules" of war. but MOST battles were fought using trenches (thin crevaces dug by soldiers and used for cover) and usually no one moved from their trenches unless to charge directly across the "no mans land" (the area between trenches, named this because no very few made it across this stretch.) and into the enemy trench.
