Why were trenches used?

Why were trenches used? Germany wanted to occupy French territory. Falkenhayn ordered his men to dig trenches that would provide them with protection from the advancing French and British troops. The Allies soon realized that they could not break through this line and they also began to dig trenches. The trench was effective cover and could be created by the men when there were no materials with which to build other defenses.

Conditions “Bodies” Pvt. M. B. Person, 321st Infantry, 81st Division, wrote his brother about the horrors of trench warfare: "The worst of all is the men lieing around that have never [been] burried. You can hardly step with out step[p]ing on skeletons and graves the shells have blown some that have been burried out of the ground and you can walk along in the trenches and see their guts sticking out from the edge of the trenches..."

Conditions “Lice” "August 9, 1918, Friday. While he is a nuisance, occasionally the "kootie" may become of real value. (I may have written this episode before.) The Reward of the Kootie- A British officer was going through the front line trench, when he stooped over and reached back of his neck to pick off a "kootie" that was particularly irritating. Just as he got him off, a bullet passed immediately over his neck. He looked at the "kootie" and said: 'Son, you have saved my life; but for your persistent biting I would have been standing upright and that bullet would have caught me in the head. I know of no way to reward you except to put you back where you were and let you keep on biting.' This he did." From the Diary of Colonel Joseph Hyde Pratt, page 79.
