It was memorable for several new types of weapons technology. It was the first time planes were used as a weapons other then observation of troups. Trench warfare was introduced on a large scale.

Trench warfare was first used in WWI
Commonly called "field works" before World War I, these types of defenses are older than armies. The first known use of trench warfare was as a defensive measure by the Romans when armies were on the move. Trench warfare was effectively used during the Civil War, most notably during the sieges of Petersburg and Vicksburg.
Trench warfare was one type, and one which was used more than it had been in any previous war (and maybe since then). Also, things such as gas attacks are classed as well as use of tanks to invade enemy territory and fighter planes.

Trench warfare was only used in WWI because by the time WWII came around the corner the allied powers were higher in technology like tanks and artillery could bob those positions, making themuseless. It was a style of war used almost exclusively in WWI as the outdated tactics of the commanders was rendered useless by the advances in weaponry. The trenches would only hold back the tanks and heavy artillery because tanks at the time could not cross the big gap and the heavy artillery would fall into the trench and either the artillery would explode or rapidly fire (depending on the weapon that fell into the trench)
They were used for hand to hand combat if the enemy jumped into their trenches. This was the first war with extensive use of trench warfare.
1. First use of the B52 in combat. 2. First massive use of UAVs in combat. 3. First massive use of assault rifles in combat. 4. First massive use of helicopters in combat. To name a few.
