1. They dealt with fear of starting the fighting and some of them weren't prepared for what would come next.

1. The soldiers were expected to fight and keep on watch even when resting, which was incredibly stressful. It was also difficult to live in the trenches. There were no toilet paper, no privacy, and rats were all over the place.

1. Some of the problems that the soldiers had faced while in the trenches ranged from the lack of being mentally prepared for war to the lack of sleep. Aside from that the living conditions that they lived in weren't the best and the trenches were swarmed with rats. The unsanitary conditions of where they stayed also contributed to the amount of disease that was prominent in the trenches. And as the textbook states, "Life in the trenches was pure misery. “The

1. The problems were the soldiers not being prepared for the fight because of the lack of sleep they were getting and also their living situation was bad. People in the trenches slept in mud, ate mud, and also washed in mud. The trenches were also swarmed with rats.

The soldiers faced exhaustion, poor hygiene, hot lead, flames, machines of war, risk of life, limb, and sanity.

Viewing the video doesn't change my perceptions much since I already understood the general concept and what the war entailed to some extent.War is not a happy place. Emotions are confusing, but the roots of these miracles of consciousness can be taken apart and understood for a better connection to the subject from which said emotions are coming. I mean... it's certainly not the most comfortable experience... but there isn't much new information to add...

1. With soldiers fighting in close proximity in the trenches, usually in unsanitary conditions, infectious diseases such as dysentery, cholera and typhoid fever were common and spread rapidly.

1. The soldiers dwelled under unsanitary living conditions in the narrow trenches, which were filled with dirt and infested with rats and lice. Bunkers within the trenches were small and cramped for comfortable sleep or napping. There was no privacy either; soldiers slept huddled together in groups and urinated or defecated at benches side-by-side with each other. During battle, corpses of fallen soldiers were usually disposed around or in the trenches to rot, attracting pests and producing an undesirable stench.
