The landscape of death, shown here by a modern artist, was often referred to as ‘Hell on Earth’. cnezam https://padlet.com/cnezam/czpclfn7dmkhdtrn/wish/2762159060 2023-10-25 03:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cnezam/czpclfn7dmkhdtrn/wish/2762159060 World War I became a war of attrition, a conflict in which neither side could win a decisive victory to end the war. This forced both sides to try to wear down their enemy by killing as many soldiers as possible. cnezam https://padlet.com/cnezam/czpclfn7dmkhdtrn/wish/2762161996 2023-10-25 03:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cnezam/czpclfn7dmkhdtrn/wish/2762161996 Heavy artillery had existed for centuries, but in 1914–18 it was developed to maximum destructive power. It was used to overcome the problems of static trench warfare. Some 75 per cent of deaths and injuries in World War I were caused by cannon shells. cnezam https://padlet.com/cnezam/czpclfn7dmkhdtrn/wish/2762165350 2023-10-25 03:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cnezam/czpclfn7dmkhdtrn/wish/2762165350 World War I expanded from one major site (the Western Front in Belgium and northern France) to several locations of war. cnezam https://padlet.com/cnezam/czpclfn7dmkhdtrn/wish/2762167760 2023-10-25 03:24:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cnezam/czpclfn7dmkhdtrn/wish/2762167760 The Allies attacked Germany’s ally, Turkey creating the Dardanelles Front, (Gallipoli was just one part).
