Especially during World War I, but also relevant during other historical conflicts, trench warfare may be described as "ineffective" because of its inability to secure final victory. As a defensive weapon, it has proven outstanding in its career. And yet, on its own, it can only prevent defeat, not lead to the acquisition of land that is typically required for ultimate military success.
