What were conditions like at the front ....World War 1?
Like being in hell. There are NO good conditions in a war, it's all bad, all stupid and vulgar
How was fighting the trenches war different from previous American wars such as the Civil War or Spanish-American War?
The wars are not comparable. All had different causes, and were fought under different conditions. However, the Confederates liked to compare themselves with the heroes of the American Revolution, fighting for self-government. And the fighting at Petersburg in 1864-5 did resemble the trench warfare of World War 1.
Was there fighting between the Soviets and the US?
No. The Soviets were fighting the Germans in WW2, just like the Allied forces and after WW2 the West and Russia were in Cold War stances. That means that they were very unfriendly, but never actually went to war. Had fighting happened there could have been nuclear war.
What were the fighting conditions in north Africa in World War 2?
Not the most comfortable. Blistering hot in the day, with swarms of bugs, and no water for washing because it had to be conserved for drinking. Very cold at night.
What were the living conditions like for aboriginals during World War 1?
Shocking
