If soldiers inhaled the gas it caused death by asphyxiation because their lungs filled with fluid and cause severe breathing problems. It would also cause intense irritation of the skin, the eyes, and the throat. The gas was soon contained into shells that were dropped directly into enemy trenches…

unsuccessful trench warfare and stalemates are.

Trench warfare meant an adjustment was needed in the way troops fought, also it caused the troops to experience poor living conditions and exposure to disease. Multiple attempts to compromise the stalemate meant high casualties due to the lengthy delays. Overall, this shows that…

Trench warfare occurred when a revolution in firepower was not matched by similar advances in mobility, resulting in a grueling form of warfare in which the defender held the advantage.…
