In World War One, the soldiers survived by digging up trenches. Trenches are holes dug in the ground, sort of how worms dig into the ground but bigger.

Why didn't General Pershing allow soldiers of the AEF to mix with other Allied armies?
The British Army, who had been fighting Germany for 3 years, wanted the American troops to fight from inside trenches, like their soldiers did. Problem is, when you're in a nice, soggy, safe trench it is extremely hard for the soldiers and their leaders to get out on the field of battle and fight. Pershing knew this, and even before he and his American troops went to Europe to fight, he was promising that the Americans would never fight from the trenches, and get nowhere. He knew that if the fresh Americans soldiers mixed with the British, they would "learn" from them how not to win the war. Pershing, the great leader and tactician that he was, saw that the right approach to defeat Germany was to be very clever, and fight Germany by cutting of her supply lines to the soldiers, and to strike hard and fast with no warning. These are all things that in World War 2 and today are the accepted practice. Pershing learned his tactics while he was in the US Army in the 1800s fighting some of the best guerrilla troops in the world: The American Natives.

Are there any World War I trenches left to visit?
After the war the trenches went away as the land returned to its original uses, but I found a couple of them left that you can visit. One is Vieil Armand in Alsace, and the trenches were mostly carved in stone so they are well preserved. Also, World War 1 trenches in the Meuse have been restored to their original condition so that people can visit them. The German trenches there were built with concrete reinforcements, but the French trenches had filled in over the years and had to be dug out again.
