The trenches in World War I were literally a trench that was dug into dirt or mud to shelter the soldier while they were firing at the enemy. Both side used these trenches while they were fight each other. The trenches were low enough to us for protection. They used barbed wire also for protection. The trenches were very dirty. They soldier would become infected because of curling in the trenches, which the trenches would become injected because of the wounds. The soldier cuts would become infected because of the dirt that was getting into their wounds. There wasn’t any type of antibodies in the World War I. The only way they could clean their wounds would be palatine care ("Trench Warfare ", 2005). They would get all kinds of different disease like colds, flu when. When it rain it became low level mash, which they would get fungal infection which was known as trench food and trench mouth. This became a very gross. They would become very sick too. The Zimmerman telegram was a message from the German foreign secretary to a President of Mexican proposing an alliance in 1917. It was an offer from the German and for a Mexicans incision of American as revenge for the Mexicans America War. The Germany though it could out the American out of the Europe War.
