From watching this movie trailer and stuff i have already known i predict that most of the casualties where done by disease among the trenches and battle wounds not been treated. Remember that this is in the year of 1915 so there where not many ways too stop bleeding or to survive the bleeding. Many times you would have to cut of arms and legs so that the casualty could live. Another cause of the great number of casualties in world war 1 was the invention of artillery which killed and wounded many people from the shrapnel that the bombs produced. Sinking of battleships and navy fights also killed a lot people because if the boat was hit by artillery from another ship, the ship would sink and it took many people to man a battleship. The last cause of many casualties was because of gun to gun warfare. Which many people where slaughtered in the battlefield.
