Many mention the use of massed tanks (by British and Commonwealth forces) on 8 August 1918 at Amiens as important. Tanks were able to cross trenches and were well protected against machine-gun fire. (In this context, 'massed' means that a very large number of tanks were used in any place, instead of being spread thinly). During the time 1917-1918 the stalemate on the western front, which had lasted for almost three and a half years, was broken. The four main reasons for this break were the US entry into the war after the sinking of the passenger ship the RMS Lusitania carrying hundreds of Americans by a German U-boat, the German plan of attack called the ludendorff offensive and its failure, the British blockade of German ports and the new technology that was developed and used during the war.
Problems with logistics and communications contributed to the long period of stalemate during World War I. The stalemate happened after the British forces attacked and captured Neuve Chapelle in the Artois region.
