Although trenches have been used in other wars before and since World War 1, armies in World War 1 could not move fast enough to carry through with an offensive, and they were easily pushed back by reinforcements brought in by railroad train. The war became static, turning into an artillery duel, and the machine gun became even more effective. The safest place to be was in a trench.
Trenches were a trademark of the first World War. They were extensive and elaborate. They were not used in World War II. Are you trying to find out the length of ALL the trenches together?
no.
No. Trenches were used in wars as far back as history is recorded. Trenches were used in the Revolutionary war in the US. Some of these trenches can still be seen at the scene of some battlefields such as Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and Yorktown Virginia.
Reserve trenches were used as supplies for the trenches out the front. In world war one, they had come up with a technique of hiding in trenches before they fight. To do this properly, they had made them zig-zags. The trenches on the front line were where the soldiers would fight from. Reserve trenches were used in case these people had anything happen to them and they needed to use more trenches and more men. Throughout the war, the conditions of the front line trenches became worse as the communication and reserve trenches improved. I hope that helped :)
The soldiers themselves dug out the trenches.

Once to the top of the trenches, the troops would make their way across their own barbed wire and walk across no-man's land in an attempt to make it to the enemy trenches.
Over 200,000 men died in the trenches of World War 1.
Trenches in the Pacific Theater of the war were absolutely vital to save lives. They dug them on every island they fought upon. Trenches in Africa, Italy and during the Normandy Invasion, Battle of the Bulge were critical too. The poor guys in the Battle of the Bulge and in the Ardenne Forest had to literally make snow trenches and even sleep in them. Some of the soldiers even used fallen vehicles for trenches and safe protection. Without trenches hundreds of thousands of men would have died, even if some did die in the trenches, especially when they stood up.
Trenches were used in both WWI and WWII.
What a bone question. The trenches were big enough to fit into.
the trenches first started in 1914, the start of world war 1.
no.
