1.a lot of the times gas was a problem. Bathing and washing would have solved the problem but this was not possible in the trenches. Many soldiers suffered from the effects of gas attacks for the rest of their lives.

2.Some soldiers suffered from a condition called trench foot.This was caused by standing in water and mud for a long time and losing blood circulation. In some cases, soldiers' socks started to grow on to their feet. In severe cases, soldiers had to have their feet or legs amputated (cut off).

3.Trench fever was an unpleasant disease caused by body lice during World War One.The fever was easily passed between soldiers, causing them to suffer from high fever, headaches, aching muscles and sores on the skin. It was painful and took around twelve weeks to get better from. For many soldiers, it was an illness that struck them more than once

4.Shell shock was another new illness during World War One.It was not a physical illness, but a mental one. The constant noise of explosions and guns, along with the smell and danger of the trenches made many soldiers very scared and uncomfortable. Shell shock caused soldiers to act strangely. They found life on the front line very hard to deal with and would stop being able to follow commands and do their duties properly.To begin with, officers and doctors did not understand the illness and thought the soldiers were weak. Some were sent to special hospitals to recover. Others had to carry on fighting.

They devised a new economic policy to ensure the profitability of the colonies as Europeans expanded their market reach into the colonial sphere. European perceptions of wealth from the 1500s to the late 1700s were shaped by the philosophy of mercantilism. Mercantilism held that there was only a limited amount of wealth in the world, as measured in gold and silver bullions. Nations had to amass wealth in order to gain power by mining these precious raw materials from their colonial possessions. Mercantilists did not believe in free trade, arguing instead that to create wealth and improve state power, the nation should control trade. Colonies existed to strengthen the colonizing nation in this view.

Oxana [17]

Henry Hudson's voyage had several impacts in the lives of Europeans as well as native Americans.

Explanation:

Henry Hudson's exploration of New York as well as the discovery of Hudson river motivated the Dutch to set up colonies here. After the first Dutch colony was set up in New Amsterdam, Dutch became increasingly interested in colonizing North America.

By trading the tools he had with the native Americans in exchange for their furs, Hudson's exploration influenced the lives of native Americans too. They gained better access to technology and had better weapons in possession.
