Who was responsible for digging the trenches in trench warfare?

Answer 1

generally, both side would have dug the trenches at about the same time.

the defending side would dig them as a defensive measure and if the attacking side was unable to break the line they would then dig their own trenches to provide cover for reinforcements and as a base for future attacks.

in the first world war it was the Germans that first dug trenches on the high ground at the battle of the Marne early in the war. British and French forces in turn dug trenches as a base of further attacks. the network of trenches then began to spread until it stretched from neutral Switzerland to the sea.

small trench networks were dug in the second world war as defensive positions but the appearance of the sub machine gun and more advanced camouflage and combat techniques limited their effectivness.

Answer 2

Trenches per se were on several fronts: Western, Eastern, Salonika, Gallipoli, Italian (to a degree -- this was a high-altitude, mountainous front). The front in Mesopotamia didn't have them (tricky in the sand, for one reason), nor did the war in East Africa (one of the few fronts with true movement happening). So it's really less a question of countries than fronts.

Answer 3

Trench warfare was taking place during World War I. Both sides fighting in the first World War used trench warfare as a defensive tactic.
