Trench warfare relates to the AIF experiences on the Western Front as it was used greatly. On the western front there were thousands of kilometres of trenches dug out by both the AIF and allies and the Germans. The trench warfare of the western front started in 1914 and ended in 1918 when more open battles broke out. No major movement was made by either side during this four year period up until 1918 when the German forces advanced nearly 97 km west and nearly made a break through. During this time of trench warfare when both sides were desperate to break through the opposing defence’s new military equipment and technology was introduced such as tanks, gas warfare and aircraft.
