The soldiers dug deep trenches into the ground. Began trench warfare. When the soldiers were leaving the trenches to jump over enemy lines, they faced powerful weapons. Machine guns, tanks, poison gas and artillery killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers. This is how he fought in France, called the Western Front.
What happened on the Eastern Front?
The war on the Eastern Front was more movement at first, but was equally destructive. The Russian armies attacked both Germany and Austro-Hungary. They had some victories at first but were rejected in both places. One reason was that Russia had not fully industrial economy. Could not supplying troops.
