Come And Learn About The WW1 Trenchs

INSTRUCTIONS Each player starts with a token on the starting square (usually the "1" grid square in the bottom left corner, or simply, off the board next to the "1" grid square). Players take turns rolling a single die to move their token by the number of squares indicated by the die roll. Tokens follow a fixed route marked on the gameboard which usually follows a boustrophedon (ox-plow) track from the bottom to the top of the playing area, passing once through every square. If, on completion of a move, a player's token lands on the lower-numbered end of a "ladder", the player moves the token up to the ladder's higher-numbered square. If the player lands on the higher-numbered square of a "snake" (or chute), the token must be moved down to the snake's lower-numbered square. If a 6 is rolled the player, after moving, immediately rolls again for another turn; otherwise play passes to the next player in turn. The player who is first to bring their token to the last square of the track is the winner.

There were over 2400 kilometers of trenches dug, and they each were about 1-3 meters deep

The condition in the trenches was really bad, if you didn't wash yourself every chance you got, you would get a disease called trench foot, which is really bad and you could die from it. You also could also get eaten alive by rats when your sleeping, so being in the trenches was not fun at all

Soldiers would be constantly scared of the enemy attacking and could hear shells going off. The conditions in trenches made sleeping very hard so soldiers also had very little rest. What the soldiers went through in the war was very upsetting.

In between the allies and enemies trenches was a large stretch of land called no man’s land. This land was seen as not belonging to either side and soldiers would have to cross it to attack the enemy.

When it was possible food would be made then put in cooking pots and old jars to take down to the trenches. By the time it reached the trenches it was usually cold.

It was Christmas Eve during the first Christmas of the war and soldiers from north sides put down their weapons and met in no man’s land. Some commanders were not happy about it and thought it might be a trick but no guns were fired. They sang carols together and exchanged food. On Christmas Day they played a game of football together.

The First World War trenches were built in a zigzag pattern and even had different levels.

Good job you won!

Fighting on the Eastern Front ended on March 3, 1918, when a peace treaty between Soviet Russia and the Central Powers was signed at Brest-Litovsk. To understand why the treaty was signed, one must go back to early 1917. Military defeats and economic instability had shaken the Russian Empire and led to the fall, in February 1917, of Tsar Nicholas II’s government. This government was replaced by a short-lived Provisional Government.

Western Front

The Western Front, a 400-plus mile stretch of land weaving through France and Belgium from the Swiss border to the North Sea, was the decisive front during the First World War. Whichever side won there – either the Central Powers or the Entente – would be able to claim victory for their respective alliance
