The involvement of America, also Germany made a big push that gained them 40 miles, but they left their supply trains behind and so it failed. The fact that tanks and airplanes helped as well, look up battle of the Somme for more info. Hope this helped :)

It was the entry of the US in the war that gave the Allies the breakthrough they needed. The US joined World War 1 on April 6, 1917.
When US troops arrived in Europe during WW I, they found that the British, French, and so forth were fighting from stationary trenches. Their leader, General Pershing, realized that neither side would win the war, and soldiers would continue to die, anyway.

Pershing boldly led his American troops across country, battling the Germans as they went. This was largely successful because the German troops, also being in trenches had limited ways to stop the oncoming American army.

During World War I, the Allies finally achieved a decisive breakthrough on the Western Front in 1918. Their success on the battlefield was due mainly to two non-tactical factors: first, the demoralization of the German troops; second, the general fatigue and distress of German society Behind the Scenes.

The American answer is that the breakthrough happened because hundreds of thousands of American soldiers and marines entered the war for the allies.

Not everyone sees the answer that way. By the start of 1918, Germany was approaching bankruptcy. They were experiencing a severe manpower shortage. Their main Central Powers friends were disappearing; Austria-Hungary had collapsed, the Ottoman Turks were losing ground to the British and Arabs. Germany could not succeed against Britain, France, and America all at once.

The tank, largely invented by Winston Churchill, was the weapon that could go through machine guns, barbed wire, and over trenches.
