Trench Warfare
Life for soldiers fighting in the trenches was hard and dangerous.

Trenches were unsanitary and infested with large rats. After rains, the trenches filled with mud.
The dirty and cramped conditions likely caused soldiers to be tense, frustrated, and tired. Poison gas was also used as a weapon at this time.
