Trench warfare was not a casual thing, it was grueling and torturous for the solider in them fighting. Snipers shots killed many their first day, then there was the rat infestations.
It must have been wonderful why else would so many people have wanted to go there.
In the context of World War I, the long-term impact of trench warfare was the extension of the conflict into more than four years of savage, costly war. Quite contrary to the expectations of many people on both sides of the war when it erupted in 1914, the war was not quickly won. The deadly effectiveness of the trenches was one of the primary reasons for this fact.
The warfare in WW1 included new tactics and weapons such as; flamethrowers which were bursts of fire machine guns that killed millions, and replaced rifles barbed wire to block off trenches poison gas was used to choke the enemy
Trench warfare was only used in WWI because by the time WWII came around the corner the allied powers were higher in technology like tanks and artillery could bob those positions, making themuseless. It was a style of war used almost exclusively in WWI as the outdated tactics of the commanders was rendered useless by the advances in weaponry. The trenches would only hold back the tanks and heavy artillery because tanks at the time could not cross the big gap and the heavy artillery would fall into the trench and either the artillery would explode or rapidly fire (depending on the weapon that fell into the trench)
In World War 1, trench warfare often resulted in a stalemate between opposing sides, which killed nearly as many men as open warfare would have. In trench warfare, disease and infections killed many of the soldiers on both sides.

If you are talking about trench warfare, it was popular in many wars but especially in WW2.
Trench Warfare was a great defensive tactic, but many were killed while going "over the top" through "no man's land" on the offensive. Small 100 yard gains were at the cost of thousands of lives at times.
well the question you asked does not make and sense. but during WWI there was trench warfare. The Germans had many trenches especially on the west front.

no, but it gave cover to soldiers and saves many lives

Trench warfare was one of the main contribtors to the exceptional loss of life during world war one. The nature of trench warfare was that the opposing armies would charge and have to cross "no man's land" under a hail of bullets and barb wire, etc. This often resulted in the complete wipe-out of the charging force....and deadlocked many advancing armies to a stand still.
