Answer 2

Trenches where dug or lets better say build all along all the front lines in WW I .
The fact is that they not always where dug into the ground is because the level of the groundwater is to high to dig a trench into the soil so they build the trench up with sandbags and soil

Answer 3

actual after the first conflict of the Marne in September 1914. through November, trench structures stretched from the Channel coast to the border of Switzerland. Trenches were dug more often than not at the starting up through the Germans, who were defeated on the Marne and pulled again to quite defensible positions in France. They then dug in (because the trenches gave them protection hostile to French artillery, device guns, and rifles), and the French and British did likewise. German trenches were more beneficial confusing - they were meant to be solid protective positions, at the same time as the British and French trenches were attack trenches, designed to guard the infantry at the same time as they stepped forward as heavily as plausible to the German trenches in the previous attacking. "Did Germany supply u . s . of america a probability to dig in the previous the capturing all started?" the U. S. did not enter the conflict till April 1917, and we did no longer have troops in France till later that 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, and American troops did not fairly wrestle on a huge scale till would 1918. The trenches already existed through the time we were given into the conflict. "Or were you digging as you've been capturing?" You were digging as you fought - the infantrymen digging trenches were valid militia aims. some infantrymen dug , at the same time as others fought to furnish cover for the diggers.

Answer 4

Trenches were dug in the south of Belgium (Ypres) and in the north of France (near Verdun). Read "Birdsong" by Sebastian Faulks!
