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

History
1 answer:
vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago
7 0

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>

In two paragraphs wat was the purpose of the virginia plan
Klio2033 [76]

The purpose of the plan was to protect the bigger states interests in the new government. I think it successfully achieves the purpose because it has so many rules that there is no way that it couldn't have done its purpose. The word choice affects the document because it uses the words,thereof and therefore, a lot which makes it sound like a comparative piece. It also says the word ought which makes it sound old. And there are more words that I have never seen before like: stipends, Magistracy, diminution, and punctually. There are many sentences that are worded so that they are difficult to read and understand, they don't use the type of English that we use today. There are fifteen rules, and they are long. They are not like one sentences long they are like 5-6 sentences long.
