For hundreds of years war was waged in a fairly set pattern. The belligerants lined up opposite each other, then there would be Cavalry Charges followed by infantry on foot and then hand to hand. All movements directed by the Generals with field glasses on nearby hilltops like a large and deadly game of Chess.
It all changed with the arrival of the HMG, the heavy machine gun, before WW1. When the armies arrived on the battle field they found this weapon had changed the method of war forever. There would be no more Cavalry charges, and when infantry tried to advance en- masse they were cut down by rapid-fire, high velocity 0.50 in calibre weapons. Both sides had these weapons so a stalemate quickly came into being and Trench Warfare was born. The opposing armies sat in trenches 500 mtrs apart with 'No Mans Land' between them. Men were ordered over the top to attack but it was futile, they were dead before they covered 50 mtrs. It became a war of waiting, who could afford to last longer. Even the invention of the 'Tank' by the British though it showed promise, had trouble with mud and shell craters of Flanders.
they fought in the trenches ww1 was known as a war in the trenches
Over 200,000 men died in the trenches of World War 1.
the trenches first started in 1914, the start of world war 1.
All of Europe was affected by WW1. Battle were fought in Italy and Germany and Belgium. A well known term is "The Western Front", refering to a series of trenches that went through France.
i think trenches are at least 5-6 feet no one knows
The Trenches were in neither - they were in France (mainly) and also Belgium.
Trenches were used extensively in World War I in countries such as France, Belgium, Germany, and other Western European nations where the front lines were established.
WWI was fought in Europe, mostly in trenches along France, Belgium and Germany
The lines of trenches that ran from Belgium to Switzerland during World War II were known as the Western Front. The soldiers fighting in the war would spend many days eating, sleeping, fighting, and other such activities in these trenches both day and night.
The soldiers themselves dug out the trenches.
World War 1 took place in Europe, specifically Northeast France, Northeast Italy, Belgium, and what is now known as Romania.

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?
