In the context of World War I, 'stalemate' refers to the impossibility of achieving decisive results through battlefield conflicts and clashes. Territory might be gained or regained; advances were sometimes made; small victories might be won. Yet, until late in the war, stalemate dominated the war's major fronts, with no significant or decisive results able to be won, no matter how much effort (or life) was expended.
