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>

Hey can anyone write a poem about early Muslim culture!!<br> In ur own words pls!
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

(The life of a Muslim woman:

I walk with pride in myself instead of doubt, I tell the truth every time I open my mouth. It is hard that is true but I do it for all of you. While others lie because they think it saves this doesn't help pave a good relationship it only damages it.

There may not be many like me, so be kind to me. Many with lie and feel doubt. That is why they shouldn't open their mouth. They should only walk if they do so with pride. And they should never speak if it is going to be a lie.

I have respectful relationships, no yelling or fighting. I don't envy others because I respect me. I don't allow myself to become depressed I pursue many issues that need to be pressed. If I let my self be down life will keep me pressed to the ground. I need to be strong and fight with all of my might.

I can speak just like you so don't treat me poorly too. I learn as I go and walk a long road. Soon in the near future I will have a new home with many things that I own. But this isn't easy to get I need to earn every cent.) -Raymond :3

In the late 1800s factories were being powered mostly by what?
arlik [135]

The factory system is a method of manufacturing using machinery and division of labour. Because of the high capital cost of machinery and factory buildings, factories are typically owned by capitalists wmho employ the operative labour. Use of machinery with the division of labor reduced the required skill level of workers and also increased the output per worker.

The factory system was first adopted in Britain at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century and later spread around the world.[1] It replaced the putting-out system. The main characteristic of the factory system is the use of machinery, originally powered by water or steam and later by electricity. Other characteristics of the system mostly derive from the use of machinery or economies of scale, the centralization of factories, and standardization of interchangeable parts.
