How did new weapons end trench warfare?
Trench Warfare, fighting from a network of fortifications dug or constructed at or below ground level. It developed as a protracted method of warfare after the machine gunshad become the main battlefield weapon. During World War 1 (1914-1918), the machine gun’s range and firing power made it difficult, if not impossible, for troops to move easily to new positions. Artillery fire by land forces also affected the ability to maneuver. Trenches were dug along battlefield fronts, and the resulting trench warfare created a stalemate that lasted for most of the war.
