Trench warfare, which was a tactic where both opposing sides dug trenches in the soil about 50 - 100m. apart, just deep enough to shelter the soldiers from enemy's sight. The soldiers would be called "over the top" and this was when medieval tactics of simply charging the enemy with waves of troops coming out from the trenches armed with various guns and bayonets, this resulted in many deaths as the trenches were a better defense zone than an offense zone due to the hidden snipers and the dangers set up in no man's land (land between opposing trenches), which were put up to stop the waves of troops. Barbed wire and land mines were often used in no man's land while defending machine guns and snipers would hold back the waves of soldiers. These tactics lead to stalemate in the war due to their lack of success and the difficulty it took for one side to overthrown the other in the trenches.
