How did trench warfare develop after Battle of the Marne in 1914?

German general, Erich von Falkenhyn, made his troops / soldiers dig trenches for protection against the Allies (the Allies are the German's enemies), when the Allies soon realized they could not break through their trenches, they dug their own as well. This created "No man's land", which was the middle of both trenches, where it was nearly impossible to survive.

Are there any World War I trenches left to visit?

After the war the trenches went away as the land returned to its original uses, but I found a couple of them left that you can visit. One is Vieil Armand in Alsace, and the trenches were mostly carved in stone so they are well preserved. Also, World War 1 trenches in the Meuse have been restored to their original condition so that people can visit them. The German trenches there were built with concrete reinforcements, but the French trenches had filled in over the years and had to be dug out again.
