Barbed wire played a very significant role in World War I (also called the Great War). Barbed wire was originally used as a boundary to keep cattle in, but it soon proved to be useful in trench warfare. Barbed wire served both as a way to keep the enemies out, and as a way to keep the soldiers in (and protected). The use of barbed wire was the cause of many casualties and injuries, as well as a contributing factor to the stalemate of the war.
