Trench foot is a disease caused by the cold and wet. It was a huge problem in ww1, many soldiers would only be treated in the late stages meaning they have to have an amputation, some didn't survive.

Why was World War 1 more deadlier than ww2?
WW1 used trench warfare. Causing a dead zone. where if anyone popped out of their trench they would most likely died. It cause many stalemate conflicts. Also, planes, tanks, and gas (even gatling gun) were new styles of fighting brought out by this war. So no tatics were thought of during this time. Laslty, during this time there were many treaties of allies going on, causing many countries to join the war when it was only two tiny countries that were actually angry.
