Early settlers experienced challenges such as,attacks from American Indians and crop failure leading to starvation.
The settlers were able to overcome starvation by introducing corn farming in addition to tobacco farming. One of the major reasons why farmers had faced starvation was because the spent most of the time farming tobacco. in addition, Indians were very hostile,a problem that was resolved by increasing numbers of settlers and living together.
Trenches were common throughout the Western Front.
Trench warfare in World War I was employed primarily on the Western Front, an area of northern France and Belgium that saw combat between German troops and Allied forces from France, Great Britain and, later, the United States.
Although trenches were hardly new to combat: Prior to the advent of firearms and artillery, they were used as defenses against attack, such as moats surrounding castles. But they became a fundamental part of strategy with the influx of modern weapons of war.
Long, narrow trenches dug into the ground at the front, usually by the infantry soldiers who would occupy them for weeks at a time, were designed to protect World War I troops from machine-gun fire and artillery attack from the air.

Versailles
Louis XIV is an important historical figure. He was known as the Sun King because all activity in France basically revolved around him. He built up the property at Versailles to a glorious palace and got the nobility to compete for his attention there. They would even compete with each other for the right to help the king get dressed in the morning. This was Louis' way of keeping the ranking nobles from being a threat to his power. He lured them to come live at the glorious Versailles palace with him where he could keep them under his influence and away from their lands in the provinces. They were lavishly entertained, but lost the real power they would have had as lords governing in their provincial lands.
