It had a negative effect on the soldiers. Trench foot, poor hygiene, food contamination, lice were some of the effects.

Explanation:

Trench warfare can be described as a type of fighting where the two sides involved fight from trenches they dug. These trenches serve as a form of protection.

Life in the trenches was horrible, terrifying, unhygienic, and dangerous. when it rained, trenches were flooded causing weapons to be clogged and difficulties in movement because of mud.

Most of the troops were unable to get any sleep while they were in the trench because of the many explosions, attacks and shots that were being made by soldiers from both sides of the war. Soldiers suffered from shell shock. Foods were contaminated, and the soldiers lived in tight spaces

Soldiers suffered bullet wounds to the arms, trench foot, inhalation of poisonous gases, bullet wounds to the head. Some of these were life threatening.

While in the trenches the soldiers were unhygienic. They were unwashed, unshaven and without showers. Many men contacted trench fevers caused by lice.
