the Western and Eastern fronts the latter being the fighting happening on the Pacific Ocean between primarily US and the Japanese Empire, the Western front consisted of the fighting occurring in Europe,Russia, and Northern Africa
World War One was, just like other wars, not very pleasant. On the front lines solders on both sides had to live in trenches and had to deal with disease, rats, fleas, and not getting killed. On the home front in countries close to the front lines they were in constant fear of bombings at night and for the workers that had to deal with explosive they had to be very careful not to drop any of the explosives or they will blowup.
Mostly Germany and Japan Very little of the fighting took place in either Germany or Japan, although a lot of bombs were dropped in those countries. Japan surrendered before the home islands were invaded. In Europe, most of the land battles were in France and the low countries on the Western Front, Russia on the Eastern Front, Italy to the South, and in North Africa. By the time the Allies reached the German borders they were mostly just following a retreating army.
After over four years of Trench Warfare on the Western Front, and the effective blockade of Germany by the Royal Navy, Germany, on the verge of starvation and political collapse, out of the resources necessary to sustain its troops at the front, signed an Armistice with the Allies to take effect on November 11, 1918 at 11:00 A.M. Since that many countries celebrate Armistice Day. The US commemorates it as Veterans Day.
WW1 used trench warfare. Causing a dead zone. where if anyone popped out of their trench they would most likely died. It cause many stalemate conflicts. Also, planes, tanks, and gas (even gatling gun) were new styles of fighting brought out by this war. So no tatics were thought of during this time. Laslty, during this time there were many treaties of allies going on, causing many countries to join the war when it was only two tiny countries that were actually angry. Look up ww1 western front and eastern front to learn of trench warfare for this was primary cause of the many deaths.
