aug 20, 1914 - Trenches are built along country borders by both sides.

Description:

Trenches were pits that spanned warzones to protect soldiers with cover. Each side would have them and the space between them was dubbed "No man's land". These trenches; effective as cover as they were, were still susceptible to artillery which often became the downfall of soldiers along with disease.
