Who came up with the idea of World War 1 being fought in trenches?
Trench warfare dates back hundreds of years. It was an effective method of attacking a fortress. During the early age of artillery, the attacking forces tried to move their artillery close to a fort in order to breach the walls. The trenches were just a way to get closer without exposing the cannoneers to fire from the walls of the fort. The earliest trenches were built in the zig-zag pattern in order to make it harder to fire into the trenches from the side. This was seen in the World War I trenches. Trench warfare became a frequent military tactic for defending territory between the US Civil War (1861-1865) and the first World War (1914).
Was it clean and healthy in the trenches?
Life in the trenches during wartime, particularly in World War I, was far from clean and healthy. Soldiers faced unsanitary conditions, often living in mud, filth, and close quarters, which led to the spread of diseases like dysentery and trench foot. The lack of proper hygiene facilities and clean water exacerbated these health issues, making the trenches a breeding ground for infection and illness. Overall, the harsh conditions significantly impacted the soldiers' physical and mental well-being.
