Yes, but it also kept both sides from making significant advances.
Both sides were involved in trench warefare.
In World War 1, trench warfare often resulted in a stalemate between opposing sides, which killed nearly as many men as open warfare would have. In trench warfare, disease and infections killed many of the soldiers on both sides.

because eventually someone woud give up and leave after the inventions of tanks trench warfare was no longer needed. Both sides of a war has to be interested in trench warfare because if one isn't on the same fighting level, they stand no chance to win.
Trench warfare was first used in WWI
Trench warfare is famous because of its large scale use during World War 1. During the war, both sides used this type of warfare for protection.
trenches... trench warfare.... what exactly do you need?
Trench warfare was a military tactic used because of the weapons used at the time (the time being 1864-1918). It was called trench warfare because both sides dug trenches and either bombarded the other, assaulted it, or simply waited it out.
The Western Front (in France and Belgium) where both sides were very evenly matched, and the defense proved much stronger than the offense. On other fronts in World War 1, trench warfare was not necessary.
trench warfare that kept both sides in virtually the same positions for four years.
Trench warfare developed on the Western Front during World War I due to the stalemate between the Allied and Central Powers, with both sides digging trenches for protection. On the Eastern Front, the vast open spaces and more fluid military tactics made trench warfare less practical.
I do not believe that trench warfare was successful as a strategy because it made both sides sitting targets for disease and artillery fire. During times of the year when cold weather and rainy conditions were common, the trenches would fill with water and soldiers would be at risk of trench foot.
