Trenches were used in world war1 for shelter and to outflank your opponents.
Trenches were formed on the eve of the invention of the machine gun. Mainly to shelter from a hail of bullets which can literally cut a man in two.they can also offer so much protection that they can prevent people from dieing to a degree
Trenches were made to prevent enemy fire from hitting soldiers directly, as they covered most of the target area. The soldiers lived in these trenches for months so trench foot was a very bad problem. This is why WWI fighting style was called "Trench Warfare."
The only problem was that when people looked up if someone saw something extraordinary they would stand up and without noticing get shot by a sniper that's why there were so many losses.
Trenches were used because on flat ground where ther wasn't a lot to hide behind and you had to create your own wall. This was done by digging a hole and piling the dirt up on the edges to conceal your whereabouts. In the first World War the use of aircraft for bombing was limited and an attack from above was not common. Most of the shooting was direct fire where they shot at what they could see. If you were in a hole you were hidden.
Artillery and machines guns caused armies to stay in defensive positions
The reason why trenches were built was to keep the troops safe from enemy fire and artillery.
because they wouldn't get killed as easily if they were in a trench then on a feild
