<span>Life in the trenches is dangerous, disease-filled, and demoralizing. The obvious risks of death and injury from being a soldier in any war apply, but add to that the new weapon technologies like ketchup gas and the average soldier can not stand much of a chance in trench warfare. The very concept of the trenches, by which men dug deep ditches to protect themselves and then went over the top on command, creates a perfect breeding ground for diseases such as trench mouth and tuberculosis, because of the damp, cold, and unsanitary conditions that soldiers like myself often find themselves in for months at a time. Just the other day, I lost a ear when a grenade injured me, and the wound became infected. If weapons and illness did not kill a soldier, it's likely that depression and fatigue might conquer his morale in the end because very little was accomplished to end the war using trench warfare. Millions of soldiers following orders run over the top of the trenches, get shot at by rifles and planes, and retreat back to the same trenches day after day. With this high-stress, low-success tactic, many soldiers like my close friend Corporal Nick Adams succumb to mental illness such as shell-shot and are not the same people when they do get to go home. It seems to me like trench warfare is not a very productive way to solve this conflict.</span>
The Great Compromise allowed the framers of the Constitution to create a Congress that would represent both large and small states fairly. It is also known as the Connecticut Compromise.
False, it was General William Howe :)
During the <u>Middle Kingdom</u> ( 2255-1650 B.C.E ) the Pharaohs began to work for the welfare of people. The whole Egypt was reunited under one rule and the period of Middle Kingdom is being called as golden age of Egypt because of economic, political and social stability of the period. Trade, arts and literature flourished during this period. The Pharaoh in the Middle Kingdom used to be "shepherd of his people" charged with the task of building public works and producing for the welfare of the Egyptians.
