Welcome to the trenches!
The First World War was started when Britain went to war with Germany. Because Australia
was apart of the commonwealth, they joined the British forces for support in the
war. And countries that were allied with Germany also joined to support the
Germans. This formed two opposing sides called the triple entente which was
Britain, Russia and France and the triple alliance which was Germany,
Austria-Hungary and Italy. Throughout the devastating horrible years of warfare
from 1914 to 1918 both sides lost many lives through conflict and disease
suffering greatly. There were many different strategies and tactics used
throughout the Great War and Trench Warfare was just one of them. On this site
you will learn some things about Trench Warfare and the experiences that
soldiers went through. (Darlington, 2012)
