Trench warfare is a war strategy used in the American Civil War in 1861 – 1865 and the Russian – Japanese War of 1904 – 1905, but it wasn’t until World War One that trench warfare became the standard form of fighting. World War one is best known for being the war fought in trenches, and the ditches dug into the ground to give troops protection from gunfire and enemy artillery. When men volunteered to fight in World War One on the Western Front, little did they know about the living and fighting conditions that was seen in the trenches. World War one saw massive development in technology which allowed enemies to fight in different ways. Trench warfare was the most important and significant operation undertaken by troops.

World War 1 was the start of the biggest fight the world had faced this war was mainly based in Europe and the middle east which began in 1914 and ended in the year 1918. Within the fighting trench warfare was introduced to World War 1 and the living conditions, tactics and the technology used in the trenches. To know how trench warfare had an impact on the Australia soldiers and their experiences during World War 1, it is important to discuss what sort of living conditions were in the trenches, some advanced technology used in the trenches and the tactics used by other countries around the world.

World War I was often referred to as "The Great War". It began in 1914 and ended in 1918. America witnessed much devastation in this time period. In these four years alone nearly 9 million people died and millions more were maimed, crippled, grief stricken, or psychologically scarred, World War I is considered by many historians, the first man-made catastrophe of the twentieth century.There are many things that contributed to the war these causes were militarism, alliances, imperialism, and na's attempt to normalcy to be a challenge.

World War 1 or the Great War was one of the most brutal if not the most war the world has faced so far. It originated in Europe which quickly went global, the war started on the 28th of July 1914 and ended November 11th 1918. The war consisted of many weapons and deadly gases. The weapons include;

World War I, otherwise known as The Great War, is considered by many as the first modern war. Poison gas, heavy artillery, armored tanks, mortars, ground breaking military guns, advancement in war machinery, and shell bombardments were all newly utilized weapons that caused mass destruction that was never seen before at the time. However, a lot of deaths and conflict occurred in the man-made trenches. Both strenuous and unproductive, living and fighting in the trenches cost soldiers who endured them both severe physical and psychological injuries. Most soldiers were not even lucky enough to make it out of the trenches alive. All Quiet on the Western Front portrays an accurate picture of trench warfare and how gruesome it was.

World war I is considered one of the bloodiest wars ever fought in the history of the world. A major contributor to the death toll of this war was the new tactic of trench warfare. Trench warfare is a battle strategy using man made trenches and weapons to attack and take the enemy’s trench. This battle strategy combined with the use of new war technology, and the living conditions in the trenches resulted in one of the deadliest wars ever fought by mankind.

With World War I being the first modern war, armies could do nothing more than dig trenches in defense. What made World War I the first modern war is all the new technologies that came with it. Technologies like gas masks, powered flight, and U-boats affected the war in a major way. During the war, both sides used poison gas against their enemies. The gas could destroy organs, cause blisters, or even kill the soldiers. Gas masks filtered the air to help keep soldiers protected from the gas. At first, aircrafts were used for spotting enemy positions, however, as the war went on they became used for bombing and fighting. Lastly, German submarines called U-boats were used to sink supply ships and later used to sink Allied and neutral ships.

In this essay I will examine the impact that WWI had on Australia in the areas of social, political, economic and technological. I will further examine the contribution that WWI played towards making Australia the nation that it is today. Australia was first involved in WWI in 1915, this meant changes to the lives of people out on the battlefields and even back home in Australia. However the changes didn't end when the gun shoots fell silent but was continue for years, when the soldiers returned with their problems as a result of the war. WWI had a huge effect on the work class Australia women.

World war one which began in 1914, and which lasted for almost four years and three months, has been known as the most destructive war in history. Most of the fighting was in Europe, but soldiers from many other countries took part, and it changed the colonial empires of the European powers. World war one was fought by most of the countries of Europe. The actual fighting was on many different fronts. The Western Front was where most of the fighting between Germany and the Allies happened.

Tanks had been used prior to Villers-Bretonneux in World War One, with the very first use of them coming on the 15th of September, 1916, during the Battle of the Somme, by the British. They were used many times between then and Villers-Bretonneux, during various battles throughout Europe. It was, however, at Villers-Bretonneux that the first tank versus tank battle in history unfolded. The tanks involved were the British Mark IV tanks, which came in male and female versions (the female only had machine guns while the males had cannons as well), the British Mark A Whippet tanks, and the German A7V tanks. The battle ended in a tight British victory, with the driver of one of the British tanks being awarded the Military Cross for his actions. This tank battle shaped the future of warfare, both in World War One and beyond. It was significant as it provided an example of how tanks could be used to destroy an enemy’s resources and gain a strategic advantage in a battle. Without the occurrence of this tank battle, future warfare could have been vastly different to how it is

The First World War was a global war centred in Europe that lasted 4 years. More than 9 million soldiers and 7 million civilians died as a result of the war, a casualty rate aggravated by the technological and industrial sophistication of the nations at war. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history. Trenches and life within them have become a lasting topic since World War One. Throughout the war, millions of soldiers experienced and endured the horrors of trench warfare.

The First World War, thought to be at the time, the war to end all wars, was the first global scale conflict, predominately fought between [British Empire, France, Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary] 28 July 1914 – 11 Nov. 1918. A major part of this war was Trench Warfare, impacting men strategically, physically and mentally. Trenches protected soldiers, helped soldiers strategically and ended up being known as one of the most brutal parts of war. When examining the devastating impact that trench warfare had on the soldiers it is important to look at the strategy, living conditions, and medical implications. Trench warfare was how the soldiers protected themselves from artillery and the enemy, in trenches. There

The warfare of World War one was the deadliest to date due to new fighting tactics and advancements in technology. Machine guns and trench warfare became the new, and very deadly, technological and tactical

World War 1 was not the last world war, but it might be considered the “war to end all wars” because of the number of deaths, the trench warfare, the use of chemical weapons, advances in weaponry and disease.

World War One was the first major war that was fought in mainly in Europe, and parts of Asia. The war lasted from July 28th, 1914 to November 11th, 1928. There were over a hundred nations involved not only from Europe, but from Asia, Africa, Central America, North America and many Island nations. There were millions of casualties fighting in slow moving trench warfare , and many battles were also fought at sea.
