Explaining Fractions

1918 By Jim Eldridge

     Trench Warfare

WW1 was fought in the trenches and used machine guns
and poisonous gas, armed forces attack, counterattack,

and defend from trenches dug into the ground.

The trenches are usually close to one another. 

WW1 began in 1914 after the assassination of

Archduke Franz Ferdinand and lasted until 1918.

Many men killed in the trenches were buried

almost where they fell. These corpses, as well

as the food scraps that littered the trenches,

attracted rats. One pair of rats can breed 880 in a

  year and so the trenches were swarming with them.

Life in the trenches was dangerous for many

reasons. The more dangers were enemy fire,

poisonous gas attacks, and artillery fire. While

the trenches protected them from enemy fire

and artillery fire, they could also be extremely

dangerous

places.

The exact number of deaths is about 8 to 12

a million deaths total during the war. With people

fighting in so close places in the trenches,

usually, in unsanitary conditions, infectious

diseases such as dysentery, cholera, and

typhoid fever was common and spread rapidly.

In conclusion, trench warfare is a good

strategy in a war that a lot of countries

used that allowed them to have more cover

during the fighting of WW1.
