Why did the soldiers build trenches in World War 1?

Soldiers built trenches in World War I primarily for protection against enemy fire, particularly with the widespread use of machine guns and artillery. The trenches provided a defensive position that allowed soldiers to shield themselves from attacks while maintaining a front line. Additionally, the static nature of trench warfare created a need for fortified positions, as battles often resulted in prolonged stalemates. This system of trenches became a defining characteristic of the war, leading to harsh living conditions and significant casualties.

Whereas fire-bays were straight sections of trenches, traverses were built at angles. This limited the effect of enfilade fire or shell-burst

The use of duck boards helped enhance mobility and safety for troops in the challenging trench environment.
