The war was fought on land and water.

On land, Germany and Britain built trenches, and this was known as the trench warfare. Because both built trenches, they were pretty much stuck, they couldn't move because if one person was seen by the enemy, he was most likely killed. In between the trenches, there was the "No Man's Land" and that is where all the shells and bullets landed. While Britain's trenches were a mess, Germany's was very organized (since they were very into engineering). The trenches were used as refuge and storage. The two sides used tanks, machine guns, poison gas, and airplanes.

As for water, there wasn't really any fighting, but there lots of attacks. When Germany built their U-boats, they used their power of secrecy to attack boats from underneath. This is known as the submarine warfare. The famous sinking done by the Germans was the sinking of USA's Lusitania, a passenger ship, on May 7, 1915. In the meantime, British ships were turning American ships around, sending them back where they came from. Both Germany and Britain were trying to deprive each other of getting supplies from trade.
