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.

Soldiers in World War I often spent weeks or months in the trenches, depending on their unit's rotation and the intensity of the fighting. Many faced grueling conditions, with some experiencing continuous service in the trenches for several years. The static nature of trench warfare meant that soldiers were frequently rotated in and out, but the overall experience in the trenches was a defining aspect of the war.
