WW1-Artillery

Artillery

Artillery played a big part in Trench warfare. With troops sitting in trenches artillery fire would bombard the soldiers in the trenches. With constant bombardment for days soldiers would end up getting shell shock or also known as PTSD today. These bombardments would last days making it so when troops would push the trenches they wouldn't have to deal with enemy fire. Artillery fire is one of the main causes of destruction of war, and causing the most money. The destruction of buildings, and land, with destruction of land created a no man zone between the trenches. Artillery was the most fear of infantry and tanks for the absolute destruction it causes by shrapnel and the blast radius.
