I assume you mean primarily World War One. Trench warfare developed over time, because at some point, neither side was 'winning' or 'losing'. A stalemate developed, and each side literally 'dug in' to hold the ground they had occupied. The trenches also protected a soldier against the massive amount of machine gun fire, and artillery fire. The trenches became ever larger and more elaborate. Living conditions for the average soldier were terrible. World War Two saw fewer examples of trench warfare, because of greater mobility, and better communication.
