Eastern Front Longer (1, 600 km) – Baltic Sea in north to Black Sea in south.
Eastern Front More mobile and unstable as a result. Impossible to establish permanent trenches. Troops widely dispersed so the enemy (Germany) could break through more easily.
Eastern Front When the line was breached, a primitive line of communications made things worse. Reinforcements had to be found for counter attack. Harsh winter made for unbearable conditions.
