Dirty hairy disgusting rats crawling on your body while sleeping eating your food at night. This is how the soldiers in WWI had to live for 3 years nonstop fighting back in trenches. Diseases spreading everyday with the infested rats running around at night looking for something to eat.
In my history class by reading the article WWI Begins for the U.S by Danny Blas WWI was an important event because, it was the first war where almost the whole world was involved. While reading the article and going more in depth I didn't know what caused the war so, I figured out that Nationalism, Imperialism, and Militarism and the formation of a system of alliances were the causes that led to the WWI. When the war was finally over The Triple Entente known as the Allies, France, Britain, Russia, and the U.S won the war by making a stop to the endless war that kept on going against the Central Powers. With the help of U.S the Allies had faith in winning the war.
The U.S. was not a major enemy against the other countries, but once the U.S. entered the conflict the other countries were beaten up and the U.S brought the end of the war. Without the help of the U.S. war would had not been over in a rapid amount of time and would still kept on going with no solution. Soldiers fought with the technology they had they didn't have cellphones or communication to know what the other was doing. Since WWI we have improved over the years how we fight in war.

Here we saw how soldiers stayed in the trenches Source |
Back in WWI war was conducted by using trenches where soldiers slept and protected themselves. Now in 2015 technology has grown. Now a days we control war by having small groups of soldiers attack. Another big factor that is different in WWI is that now we have women that serve our country and can go to war. Back in WWI weapons were used but, now we have different weapons that are controlled by people in buildings.Furthermore transportation that we have now is an advanced technology that can be controlled at any time. Since WWI we have advanced in the new techniques of fighting as we had back then we fought in trenches.
