Trench warfare, No Mans Land, And stalemate
Trench Warfare- This method of warfare is fought from the protection of deep ditches to defend their position.
These trenches can stretch up to Four-Hundred miles. These complex systems are a combination of holes and networks of paths. There are rooms for sleeping and eating, although they are mostly cold, wet, and dirty. Often soldiers got diseases like trench foot or lice. Trench foot is when the soldiers feet rot due to standing in water and mud.
No Man's Land- The area in between the two opposing trench networks.
The fighting usually takes place in No Man's Land. This area belongs to neither alliance, and cannot be gained in war. The size of No Man's Land can range from Two-Hundred to One-Thousand yards.
Stalemate- A situation in which neither side can win a clear victory.
When in stalemate, the war becomes very long and slow. The armies had to begin to be creative with war tactics since neither side would leave their trenches. Things such as grenades, gasses, and small bombs were thrown into the opponents trenches in a hope of killing multiple men at once.
