World War I Battlefields

World War I battlefields refer to the locations where significant military engagements occurred during the conflict from 1914 to 1918. These sites, such as the Western Front in France and Belgium, were marked by trench warfare, where opposing armies faced each other in long, fortified trenches. The battles often resulted in massive casualties and little territorial gain. Notable battles included the Somme, Verdun, and Passchendaele. Today, many battlefields are memorials and cemeteries, serving as reminders of the war's profound impact on nations and communities. They illustrate the horrors of war and the sacrifices made by soldiers.
