Rats became a significant problem during World War I due to the unsanitary conditions in the trenches, where food waste and decaying bodies provided ample sustenance for them. These rodents not only spread diseases such as trench fever but also consumed soldiers' rations and gnawed on equipment, exacerbating the difficult living conditions. Their rapid reproduction and adaptability made them a persistent nuisance, undermining morale among troops already facing the horrors of war.
