The First World War

The First World War began in August 1914, when the
German army invaded Belgium and then swept into
France. The Allies stopped the German advance, and both
sides dug a long line of trenches that faced one another.
This was the Western Front. The space between the two
sets of trenches was called no-man’s land. The Allies tried
to capture the German trenches by sending thousands of
soldiers across no-man’s land on foot. Huge numbers
died after being shot at or shelled. To limit the risk to their
men, both sides began to dig tunnels that led under no-man’s
land. There they used explosives in the hope of killing soldiers
in the enemy trenches overhead. This was known as tunnel
warfare – the war underground.
