What caused World War I soldiers to die?

Answer 1

Soldiers in WW1 died the same ways soldier have died in every war since, involving the same weaponry of course. If they got shot, and it ended up being a fatal wound, they would die from bullet damage. They could have been killed by artillery, either the shrapnel ripping through them or being instantly blown apart by a direct hit. WW1 was also the first conflict in which gas warfare was used, so their were soldiers who died from gas inhalation and burning. A lot of soldiers also died from malnutrition and from being exposed to the elements for extended periods of time. There were way to many ways of dying for me to tell you hear, but these were the most common. Hoped i helped a little. :)
