How trench warfare worked in World War 1

What is trench warfare?

Trench warfare is a type of land war. It was used to protect the World War 1 soldiers from
machine guns and artillery attacks from the air. They dug trench’s overnight until they
got to a certain depth where they could be more protected.

How did trench warfare develop in World War 1?

The trenches were important because they were used to protect soldiers from air attacks
and machine guns. Due to the trenches defending the opposing side's soldiers, the
countries had to advance in their military technology so that they could provide the
soldiers with more protection.

How it affected people.

Trench warfare had a massive impact on soldiers as it caused huge amounts of injuries
and some were even killed on the battlefield. It also caused health problems on the
battlefield. Heavy rains flooded trenches making them muddy, clogged up weapons and
making it hard to move in battle. This caused soldiers to get an infection known as
Trench Foot. It made it harder for more nurses to treat the soldiers because up to 10
a hundred soldiers went in and out of the hospital every day.

What is trench foot?

Trench foot, or foot syndrome, is a serious condition that results from your feet being
wet for too long. 

The condition first became known during World War 1. When soldiers got trench foot
from fighting in cold, wet conditions in the cold and their boots were too wet so they got
trench foot.

In conclusion, trench warfare was used for many things and is still used today for water
pipes and animal traps. Trenches were bad when winter arrived it was cold and they got
sick and some ended up getting their feet and legs chopped off.
