When the war broke out in 1914, the attitude of soldiers towards the war was that it will be a short and fun experience. After grasping the reality of the war, the attitude of soldiers soon began to change. the soldiers began to realize that they are all being sacrificed in a futile attempt. The heavy casulties, the terrible living conditions of the trenches and the war taking alot longer than what they have been promised were all factors that led to the changing attitude of soldiers towards the war as they realized that war was not a glorious adventure but rather the work of the devil.
World War I was characterized by trench warfare, which resulted in long periods of stagnation and tedium for soldiers on the front lines. Soldiers often faced extended waits between battles, enduring harsh conditions, limited movement, and the constant threat of enemy fire. The monotony of life in the trenches, combined with the psychological toll of warfare, led many to describe their experiences as painfully boring despite the overarching violence of the conflict. This combination of tedium and trauma profoundly impacted soldiers' mental health and morale throughout the war.

World War I significantly influenced immigration policy and attitudes towards immigrants, leading to increased suspicion and xenophobia, particularly towards those from enemy nations. In the U.S., this culminated in stricter immigration laws, such as the Emergency Quota Act of 1921, which limited the number of immigrants based on national origins. The war fostered a climate of nationalism, prompting many countries to adopt more restrictive measures and prioritize native populations over newcomers, reshaping the perception of immigrants as potential threats rather than contributors to society.

Killing enemy soldiers.
During WW1, soldiers were promised mostly money or a promotion for the capture, killing of enemy troops, or for capturing enemy trenches.

In WWII soldiers would hide behind their dead horses to protect themselves from the enemy. They would have a less chance of getting hit and so they had more chance of survival. Also the enemy wouldn't see them on the ground so it was easier for the soldiers to kill their enemy.
"Over the Top"
Where soldiers placed their elbows when firing at the enemy line
During World War II, trenches were used for defensive purposes and provided protection for soldiers from enemy attacks. They played a crucial role in the war by allowing soldiers to hold their ground and defend against enemy advances. However, life in the trenches was extremely challenging for soldiers, as they were exposed to harsh conditions such as mud, cold, and constant threat of enemy fire. This led to physical and mental strain on the soldiers, causing high levels of stress and fatigue.
