Marianas Trench

World War 1 shattered the innocence of many people. The constant shelling, trench warfare, and death left many people broken and with shell shock. Robert Graves was no exception. In his book Good-Bye to All That, the war makes him lose his respect for the cowardly English authority. His religion goes with him to the trenches but was one of the fatalities. Finally, his secrecy and embarrassment of private matters become his ammunition and never return after they leave his gun. However, a value…

”(WW1-Technology and trench warfare 2009). The first Tank offensive had been successful in the fact that they had scared the Germans, and that they had not been disabled immediately. As a trial though some were disappointed. Concerns that were raised included the fact that “the view slits were too thin to be able to see much while moving, and they were targets for enemy gunshot; and the exhaust made too much noise and the heat could have set alight the fuel tank” (WW1-Technology and trench…

A month has now passed on the front lines of the U.S. Army. Dwelling in my compact tent, I think about you both daily. I miss you two so very much. I have been dying to talk to you about my adventures and misadventures, however there has been little time because of the drills. Since we did not have drills today, I decided it was a good time to share the events undergone so far in this letter. I experienced many amazing and terrifying events since going into battle. The chaos all started one…

Most popular images of World War I show soldiers in muddy trenches and dugouts, living miserably until the next attack. Technological developments in engineering, chemistry, and optics had produced weapons deadlier than anything before. The power of defensive weapons made winning the war on the western front all but impossible for either side. Airplanes, products of the new technology, were primarily made of canvas, wood, and wire. At first they were used only to observe enemy troops. As their…

World War T Two years ago on a small farm in northern Ohio, lived a farmer, and his 401 turkeys. He had raised them since September, to be sold for Thanksgiving this November.

We get a meal once a day and at night it tasted awful I can’t wait to get home and taste your food. Soldiers come up to the trench silently to give us food and if he’s caught,…

Trench warfare is when holes are built into the ground and sandbags are placed around the holes as a protective barrier. When using trench warfare, the soldiers would shoot from the holes they had built in front. Trench warfare is no longer a use to the military because most battles are now fought in either the air or at sea. Trench warfare had a massive impact on the soldiers as it caused huge amounts of…
