Understanding Trench Warfare: Shifting Attitudes of WWI Soldiers

This project explores how soldiers' attitudes changed during World War I, particularly in the context of trench warfare. It examines the impact of the Schlieffen Plan's failure, leading to a stalemate and the horrific conditions of fighting from trenches. Soldiers faced new horrors such as poison gas, the threat of barbed wire, and the psychological toll of living amidst death in "No Man's Land." Through poetry such as "In Flanders Fields" and "Dulce et Decorum Est," we will analyze how these experiences influenced soldiers' perspectives throughout the war.
