What was trench life like during the First World War?

The First World War is especially remembered for the fighting that took place on the Western Front. It's along these fortified lines set over France and Belgium that a new type of military tactic evolved, that of trench warfare. Created as long, deep ditches dug as protective defenses, these trenches became synonymous with the horrors of modern warfare, where "going over the top" meant serious injury or more likely sudden death. Yet between brief periods of terror, these warrens and dugouts served as a home away from home for thousands. And despite the poor living conditions, the occupants of these manmade burrows managed to maintain a modicum of civility and even humor. But what exactly was life like in a First World War trench? Click through and relive the routine of trench life in the Great War.

Earthquakes, landslides see Guatemalan school closures

This July 9, Guatemalan authorities have closed schools and suspended non-essential services in and near the capital following earthquakes that took place on July 8.

In this gallery, we highlight some of history's most shocking landslides. Curious to know more about them? Click on to find out.

All about Shinto, the oldest religion in Japan
