Because Germany had invaded France. The French finally managed to stop the German advance near Paris. Then both sides dug in. For both the French and Germans trench warfare was completely new and no-one on both sides had any idea how now to break the deadlock. They both had the technology - especially, the machine gun - to stop the other's traditional assault efforts, but no-one had a new assault technology available that was impervious to machine gun defence.
So the fight remained in France (and Belgium), right to the end of the war, when the Allies could still draw on large reserves of manpower and other resources with the recent advent of the Americans, but Germany simply was running out of replacement soldiers and its economy could no longer bear the cost of war.

It didn't only take place in France. There was just as much fighting in Russia, Africa, the Middle East and at sea. Now, the question becomes WHY was there fighting in France. The answer is quite simple. Germany invaded France and France didn't want to be taken over, so the only thing they could do was fight.

There were two countries that saw most of the fighting, as the Western Front stretched across France and Belgium. I am not aware of which country got the worst of it. Probably France because they had the two Battles of the Somme.
Fighting began when the king of France tried to take the territory claimed by England in southern France and England also claimed the territory.

The fighting took place outside of the colonies in the Lexington and Concord wars.
