How did Trench Warfare affect the war?
|
A crucial part of the way World War One developed and reasons it lasted for so long was trench warfare. After a few months of big gains and big losses, the troops from both sides began to dig in. Before long a stalemate had developed that would last the next four years. Other battles would take place and gains would be made but they were either re-taken or produced another stalemate. Trench Warfare evolved enormously between 1914 to 1918. By the end of the war trenches were so advanced from where they begun some were even reinforced with concrete. There were many innovative features of trenches from the zig zag design to reduce damage and deaths from artillery bombing, Duckboards to allow dry passage for soldiers and barbed wire to slow down any enemy attacks. Although their were many great advances in Trench Warfare, they were still horrible places to live, seething with rate and the decomposing bodies of the dead.

Cavalry was a declining trend in WW1. At the beginning of the war, commanders would sent hundreds of horses charging at the enemy. These were hugely successful, and had been a crucial part of warfare for thousands of years. The appearance of automatic weapons changed this though. Suddenly, horses were being mowed down by the hundreds by machine guns. They were still used occasionally for the rest of the war but World War was one of decline for Cavalry

Many young men lost their lives to this rather new type of weapon, and is stilled used today in conflicts across the globe.

How did artillery affect the war
|
For the most part of the war, Artillery was a part of everyday life on the frontline. Every day the enemy would pound the trenches with hundreds of shells. Artillery caused more deaths in WW1 than any other weapon. Artillery progressed hugely over the course of the war. In 1914, the guns were very inaccurate, often hitting their own front line trenches before they got their aim right. By 1918, the precisions of Artillery bombing had improved so much they could hit a precise location from well behind their own lines.
