How did World War 1 become a stalemate?

Answer 1

Trench tactics provided an excellent defensive line, however, because of this advantage, a successful ground attack was very difficult to accomplish. This imbalance of attack vs defense caused a stalemate because each army didn't want to risk attacking the enemy trenches as they would most likely be defeated.

Answer 2

They gave the advantage in warfare to the defender. Once the trench system was made it was difficult & costly for the opposition to evict you from it because you can kill the attacker as he moves across no mans land. Cavalry became obsolete as an attacking force.

Answer 3

Both sides in the War ended up simply exhausted, so early on, the 'Western Front' was popularized by news reporters to describe the protective trenches that each side had buried themselves in. For a lengthy period, the Brits and Germans shot millions of pounds of ordnance at each other, but little ground actually changed hands. It seemed that until America's General John Pershing arrived in France in 1917, no commander, other than Britain's General Haig, perhaps, was able to conceive of a plan to get their men out of the trenches and into more effective tactics. Hence, stalemate.

Answer 4
