Way back when, bullets would fire over trenches, making people in said trenches nearly impossible to hit. A downside to this, though, is that trenches would often be dirty and wet, and the soldiers would grow nasty foot fungus and other ailments.

Was the trenches significant in the war?

The trenches allowed men to be protected while fighting in the war. Being out of sight from the opposing country significantly increased their chances of surviving. The trenches were also designed focusing on air shooting. This meant they created a design that would also protect them from a plane shooting at them. Without the trenches all of the men would have been killed, and they wouldn't have been given a chance to fight. so yes. the trenches were VERY significant in the war.
