7 The first use of trenches emerged during the American Civil War (1861–65). However, trench warfare reached its highest development on the Western Front during World War I (1914–18), when armies of millions of men faced each other in a line of trenches extending from the Belgian coast through northeastern France to Switzerland. These trenches developed within the first few months of the war’s outbreak. The sheer quantity of bullets and shells flying through the air in the battle conditions of WWI compelled soldiers to burrow into the soil to obtain shelter and survive, causing a stalemate on the Western Front.http://www.history.com/topics/world-war- i/world-war-i-history/videos/life-in-a- trench?m=528e394da93ae&s=undefined&f=1&free=falsehttp://www.history.com/topics/world-war- i/world-war-i-history/videos/life-in-a- trench?m=528e394da93ae&s=undefined&f=1&free=false Trench Warfare

11 Trench Foot Many soldiers fighting in the First World War suffered from trench foot. This was an infection of the feet caused by cold, wet and unsanitary conditions. In the trenches men stood for hours on end in waterlogged trenches without being able to remove wet socks or boots. The feet would gradually go numb and the skin would turn red or blue. If untreated, trench foot could turn gangrenous and result in amputation. Trench foot was a particular problem in the early stages of the war. For example, during the winter of 1914-15 over 20,000 men in the British Army were treated for trench foot.
