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.
Railey-during August 1914, the german army took over Belgium and after they did they charged at france and started to invade it but luckily the allies took advantage and stopped german from advancing. In both trenches there were german trenches and allied trenches but in the middle it's called the no man's land but no one actually made it to the other trenches while running cause they would just get shot. So they had managed a plan where the allies started to dig underground, make it to the enemy trench and put an explosive and destroy the trench..
