Trench Warfare in central Europe
World War 1 was known primarily fought within trenches. Battles where long and rigorous and conditions for soldiers was very poor. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers where killed in trench warfare making it the bloodiest war at that time. Unlike traditional wars where soldiers would run to each other on a plain battleground, World War 1 saw warfare fought between sides entrenched far away from each other so that the enemy is barely visible. Diseases spread quickly within the trenches due to the poor conditions.
Question:
What is one disease that came out of trench warfare?
