What was the area in between opposing trenches called during world war 1

History
1 answer:
vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago

Answer:  "No man's land."

Context/explanation:

Trench warfare in World War I was miserable and gruesome.  The armies had dug into trenches across from one another, and any attempts to rush out and attack the other side usually meant getting mowed down by machine gun fire.   You might want to check out <em>All Quiet on the Western Front</em> by Erich Maria Remarque (1929) for first-hand descriptions of the misery of the trench warfare.

The term "no man's land" meant that the area between the safety of the opposing trenches was no place to be.  You were likely to get slaughtered if you ventured out there.

  • <em>A sidenote for sports fans:  If you're a tennis player, the term "no man's land" is used also in tennis, a throwback to the terminology of World War I.  A tennis player wants to be hitting ground strokes from the back of the court, or else be all the way up at net to hit volleys while at net.  If a player gets caught in the middle of his side of the courr -- "no man's land" -- his opponent will hit the ball right at his feet and make it impossible for him to hit a return. </em>

Why did Filipinos become such an important part of California’s agricultural workforce?
gladu [14]

Answer:

In the 1920s, tens of thousands of Filipinos moved to California, becoming wage laborers there in the agriculture, ready to work from early morning until evening, with a fifteen-minute breakfast break and a half-hour lunch break, for only twenty dollars a month. Even today, California farms keep afloat thanks to illegal immigrants, including Filipinos.

salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The founding fathers tie property qualifications to voting, thinking  that a power belongs to them.

It is the simple answer that someone could demonstrate as an excuse of power and more qualifications be given.

This is what they expected; the unique factor of political, social and economic qualifications to be taken and belong to them with a persistent dominated way against the minorities.
