During World War I, soldiers were often easy targets due to the static nature of trench warfare, which left them exposed to enemy fire while attempting to cross open ground. The use of powerful artillery, machine guns, and new technologies like poison gas created deadly environments where even small movements could lead to casualties. Additionally, inadequate training and outdated tactics made infantry units vulnerable in the face of modern weaponry. The combination of these factors contributed to high casualty rates and a brutal, attritional style of warfare.
