The soldiers themselves dug out the trenches.
Both sides of the war, the Allies and the Central Powers, on the borders of Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland
The soldiers.
All soldiers used trenches
why did the french and british dug up trenches?To provide cover from view & fire of the enemy.
Because there is something called a Stalemate. Both sides cannot advance so they dug trenches and stayed there.
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.
no.
Traps used in World War I included land mines and wire based obstacles. Also, trenches were dug to prevent troops from crossing large areas of land quickly.

they fought in the trenches ww1 was known as a war in the trenches
The trenches were in the front lines of the war zone, they were dug by the soldiers who then both fought from and lived in these trenches for long periods of time. They were small but not as small as we would think. They were dug in a zigzag pattern so that if an enemy breached the defenses and entered the trench he would not be able to kill a lot of soldiers since they would not be in a straight line.

Over 200,000 men died in the trenches of World War 1.
