What type of warfare saw soldiers in a stalemate after digging ditches for safety?
Trench Warfare
How was trench warfare conducted?
Trench warfare was the main method of fighting during the first World War. It involved each side digging a system of active and supporting trenches. In between the trenches was 'No Man's Land,' which was a tangle of barbed wire and landmines. Men who entered No Man's Land were usually injured or killed.
What was trench war fare?
Trench warfare developed in the Boer war of 1899 and reached its peak in World War One. It involved the armies on both sides digging ziz-zag trenches right across the countryside, often only 50 yards from the enemy's trench, to protect themselves whilst they hurled shells and bombs into the enemy's trench. The land between the opposing trenches was called no-mans-land. The trenches were protected from enemy attack by masses of barbed wire and machine-guns. This type of warfare causes a stalemate and the generals have to dream up ways of breaking the stalemate. Usually this involved a heavy artillery barrage followed by a mad charge across no-mans-land, involving huge casualties. Other techniques tried were releasing poison gas when the wind blew in the right direction, digging tunnels underneath the enemy and filling them with explosives, charging the enemy trenches in tanks and so on. In WW1 the trenches stretched for over a hundred miles right across France and part of Belgium. They can be seen today at such places as Newfoundland Park in France where the Newfoundland Regiment were wiped out in the maddest charge of all in July,1916.

Trench warfare consisted of digging hole to trap enemy equipment?
During World War I, trench warfare consisted of much more than digging holes to trap the enemy. Offensive "trenching" was often used to prepare for attacks: new lines were cut into the earth that allowed attackers to approach enemy lines under cover. Many trench lines were dug for communications and supply purposes. Above all, trench warfare consisted of long lines, often zig-zagging and in echelon, cut into the earth which enabled ground troops to remain protected while fighting the enemy.
