Von Schlieffenplan
Because the German advance got stopped in the West and the Russians mobilised sooner than expected, the Von Schlieffenplan failed. The war became a stalemate. Neither of the alliances was able to break through the lines of the opposing side.

Sandbags were a quick and easy way to strengthen the trenches.
There was plenty food at the start of the WW1, but the longer the war took, the less food reached the trenches. Not everything was fresh or healthy enough for the soldiers to eat.
Apart from fighting the enemy, soldiers also had to take care of vermin like rats, fleas and lice. This was often a way to kill time in between battles.
Dogs were used to catch rats and mice, but also as a nice companion :)!
Soldiers didn't sleep for long in the trenches, but when they did at day would be the best. At night it would be the ideal time to spy on the enemy.
With a periscope the soldiers could spy on the enemy.
The most valuable sources of WW1 are the diaries and letters we still have from soldiers that actually lived and fought in the trenches.
For safety the trenches were built in a "zig-zag" pattern.
In total 40.000 km of trenches were dug in France and Belgium.
The area between trenches was destroyed in four years of battle. It was known as No Man's Land, since nothing survived.

Guarding duty was vital to the succes of the trenches. Falling asleep on duty was punished severely.
Besides fighting battles other chores had to be done aswell, like filling the sandbags, repairing the barbed wire and cleaning the toilet pots.
