TRENCH WAFARE

TRENCH WARFARE 
Trench warfare was used in World War One as a way of defending land. It was also a way of hiding from heavy artillery such as machine guns.

Firstly trench warfare was a very important battle strategy used by all countries to defend their land but it was not just used for that, trenches provided a very efficient way for soldiers to protect themselves against heavy firepower and within four months soldiers on all fronts had begun digging trenches.

Secondly, although trenches sound nice because you can hide from all the bullets there is a catch. You can develop medical problems such as trench foot and trench fever. Trench foot was caused by standing in damp environments for too long. Trench fever is caused by falling into the muddy trench or the mud getting into cuts.

Thirdly trench warfare was mostly used on both sides of a piece of land known as no man's land because it was in the middle of the war so nobody owned it. Nobody owned no man's land until the war was over. 

Fourthly trying to sleep in a trench is not easy especially when rats run around in tins cans and make a lot of noise. But what is really bad about rats is that when somebody is shot the rats eat the corpse.

In conclusion, trench warfare was used in World War One like how trenches make shelter from enemy bullets but also what and how you can get diseases from trenches. How trench warfare was fought just out of no man's land and how annoying and disgusting the rats were.
