Trench warfare happened due to a stalemate in the technological capabilities of the opposing forces at the time. With no mobile artillery, armour or aircraft there was no easy way to break the stalemate.

This was a very nasty war to fight in, if you didn't get shot you would succumb to the natural forces, namely frost bite or trench foot, a condition caused by constant exposure to tepid water which caused gangrene of the soldiers limbs.
