Trench warfare was the main style of war during World War I. It consisted of both sides of the war, called fronts, digging trenches in the ground for their soldiers to live and fight in. Trenches were deep ditches dug in the ground that were often cramped and dirty. As the dug trenches further forward, they would take more land in the battle.
This was a very slow process and often would result in tens of thousands of casualties for a few yards of land. This is especially true because of the heavy use of mounted machine guns that both sides of the war used. These guns would tear through enemies easily. This style of warfare was also vulnerable to bombings and gas attacks, as the soldiers were stuck in the trenches and the heavy poisonous gasses would sink into the trenches.
The American resources that were the most important to the Spanish were gold and silver, while for the French it was the furs that they traded. England found great profit in the tobacco trade.
There was an anti-war movement in the US, pro communism in the US was never a thing back then so I’m assuming the other one is true too lol.
Wagon trains were caravans of covered wagons each wagon pulled by horses. This is the type of caravan that saw used traveling the orogen trail and by other settlers moving west across the united states. Played the computer game "Oregon Trail" to get a realistic idea of what life on a Wagon Train may have been like...."Oops you died of starvation."
