Germany after WWI

On pg. 896 of the text, there is a picture of Trench Warfare titled, "The tragic Absurdity of Trench Warfare." The definition of trench Warfare is, combat in which each side occupies a system of protective trenches. Basically, it involved soldiers digging ditches so they were able to hide in there with just their head sticking out so they were able to shoot. The picture in the text really depicts what it was like during WWI. There are multiple soldiers in the picture, some of which who are dead, some who are being shot and others who are charging the enemy. It also shows what the ground was like where the soldiers would fight and what they would wear. In addition, it shows the guns in which they used to protect themselves. Overall, it is a good way of showing what it was like on the battleground.
