It depends. US casualties were 126,000 killed. But world casualties, as stated before, were about 16 million.\n\nWWI was a terrible war of new innovations clashing with old forms of warfare. The machine gun and deadly artillery strikes made trench warfare a necessity. But this also meant that the battle lines rarely shifted without massive loss of life.

World War I, also known as the First World War and (before 1939) the Great War, the War of the Nations, War to End All Wars was a world conflict lasting from August 1914 to the final Armistice (cessation of hostilities) on November 11, 1918. The label World War I or First World War did not come into general use until after the outbreak of World War II in 1939, and until then it was commonly known as the Great War or the World War. The war was fought by the Allied Powers on one side, and the Central Powers on the other, resulting in eventual victory for the Allies. No previous conflict had mobilized so many soldiers or involved so many in the field of battle. By its end, the war had become the bloodiest war in recorded history, though this record was soon to be superseded by World War II.\n\nAmongst Western countries, World War I became infamous for trench warfare along the Western Front, involving a system of opposing trenches (separated by a "No Man's Land") running from the North Sea to the border of Switzerland. More than 9 million soldiers died on the various battlefields, and nearly that many more in the participating countries' home fronts on account of food shortages and genocide committed under the cover of various civil wars and internal conflicts. In World War I, only some 5% of the casualties (directly caused by the war) were civilian - in World War II, this figure approached 50%.\n\nUltimately, World War I created a decisive break with the old world order that had emerged after the Napoleonic Wars, as modified by the mid-19th century national revolutions, the processes of European national unification and European colonialism. Three European land empires were shattered and subsequently dismembered to varying degrees: the German, the Austro-Hungarian and the Russian. In the Balkans and the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire experienced the same fate. Three European imperial dynasties, represented by the Hohenzollern, the Hapsburg and the Romanov families in Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia respectively, also fell during the war.\n\nWorld War I witnessed the first advent of Communism as a means of government in Russia. The following decades would see the transformation of the old Russian Empire into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a global superpower. In the east, the demise of the Ottoman Empire paved the way for a modern democratic successor state, Turkey, in the core region of Anatolia, in addition to a number of successor states and territories throughout the Middle East. In Central Europe, the new states of Czechoslovakia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Yugoslavia were born and Austria, Hungary and Poland were re-created. Shortly after the war, in 1923, Fascists came to power in Italy; in 1933, 15 years after the war, Nazism took over Germany. Problems unresolved or created by the war would be highly important factors in the outbreak, within 20 years, of World War II.\n\n\n\nCauses:\n\nOn June 28, 1914, Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria and heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb student. The Archduke was there to assert imperial authority over a disputed province. Princip was supported by pan-Serbian nationalists, with links to the Serbian military. Though this assassination is usually considered the immediate trigger for the war, its origins can be traced back to the complex web of alliances and counterbalances that developed between the various European powers after 1871.\n\n\nReasons and responsibilities\nThe reasons for the outbreak of World War I are a complicated issue; there are many factors which intertwine. Some examples are:\n\nFervent and uncompromising nationalism \nUnresolved previous disputes \nThe intricate system of alliances \nConvoluted and fragmented governance \nDelays and misunderstandings in diplomatic communications \nThe arms races of the previous decades. \nRigidity in military planning

Here is the history of how long marthons were, and are now:\n\n1896 - 24.85 miles\n1900 - 25.02 m\n1904 - 24.85 m\n1906 - 26.01 m\n1908 - 26.22 m\n1912 - 24.98 m\n1920 - 26.56 m\n\nAnd ever since 1924, they have been 26.22 miles, or 42.195 km long.\n\nI hope this EXACT figure is what you were looking for.

No.  WWI was long over by the 30's.\n\nWWII? Maybe.  Very difficult to say.  I think that delayed is more likely.

well, the deepest trench on the earth is 11,034 meters (about 30K feet).. I imagine the abyss being /infinitely/ deep.

well all dates in wars are estimates as there was so much chaos on the battle Fields the dates of death is normally taken as the day the body is proclaimed dead by a doc or medic so if a body has lay dead for a week on a battle Field and not discovered for a week then that's the date it gets \n\nbut \n\nin large battles like trench war fare it was easy to work out as there was roll call before and after they went over the top so the dates were  accurate

"Russia, one of the Allied powers during the war, had problems with its supply routes over sea. The Baltic Sea was locked by the German Navy, while the Black Sea's only entrance was through the Bosporus, which was controlled by the Ottoman Empire."\n\n"By late 1914, the Western Front, in France and Belgium, had effectively become fixed. A new front was desperately needed."\n\n"After the failure of the naval attacks, it had become clear that ground troops were necessary to eliminate the Turkish mobile artillery."\n\nThe Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, "The Anzacs were to land north of Gaba Tepe on the Aegean coast from where they could advance across the peninsula and prevent retreat from or reinforcement of Kilitbahir."

Not all are buried 6ft down.  6ft was used because thats about the deepest a man could dig by hand, you can only throw dirt so high.\n\nMost graves in commercially run cemeteries are anywhere from 5 to 8 ft deep deeping upon the ground and the type of burial.
