No, unlike World War 1, World War two was fought more in the streets and forests. Although many times once a side would dig in they would usually make fox holes more often then trenches because fox holes were quiker to make and were usually affective. The Germans made the first real advancment away from trench warfare with their blitzkreig or "lightning war", it was a tactic to use fast moving tanks, planes, and troop carries to sweep across a country before they could mount ant type of effective defense. So, no the larger majorit of World War two was not fought in trecnhes.

I'm guessing when you ask if there were trenches during WWII, you mean to the extent of trenches in WWI? The answer is no. Yes, trenches were used, but very little and not for long. The improvement of military hardware and tactics after WWI meant that trenches had became obsolete by the time WWII started. WWII was a very mobile war, unlike WWI. Armies had no time to dig trenches before it was time to move once again. It was more quicker to build fox holes, which provided some shelter and cover.
