What best characterizes the trenches dug by the Allies and by Germany? They provided excellent protection from enemy fire. They were extensive and heavily fortified. They allowed the troops to move forward quickly. They were more of an asset to the Germans than to the Allies

The correct answer is the last option.

In constructing their trenches, the Allies and Germans had different systems of thought. The former thought that the war would be over soon and that the soldiers would not spend much time in the trenches, resulting in poorly constructed ones that weren't comfortable by any means. The Germans, on the other hand, took into account the construction of their trenches, resulting in sturdy defensive lines.
