in the early stages of the war both sides would just charge at each others trenches but this wasn't very effective because both sides had machine guns. They also tried to bombard an an enemy trench and then charge it. Later on tanks were invented they could roll over enemy trenches and force the enemy to retreat this was the most effective way
