World War One

Introduction: World War One was mainly trench warfare. Both opposing sides would have front line trenches and the most casualties that took place is when raiding occurred. Raiding is basically trying to run across no-mans land to the enemies trenches without being shot. Anyone that participates rarely survives. The odds of surviving unharmed are 1000/1. In the ocean, battleship fleets would travel in abnormally large numbers and the ship`s turrets had horrible accuracy. A fleet of ships would consist of about 25 or more. Armies started using spy planes in the air to monitor the enemies ground activities. Then scout planes were built with guns to shoot down the enemies spy planes or to protect their own. Often scout planes would meet each other in the air and fight. That is how dogfights began.
